I've been looking for them for years! Where can I catch them? It brings back memories from my childhood.

D'river wins it. Both are goldfish, just another invasive non-native. Catch all you want, use 'em for bait but do not release any leftovers anywhere except into the woods or your home garden for fertilizer! No need to introduce them into any other waterways if they don't already exist there!
