Good father, good son relationship.

This is easily one of the most amazing things I've seen. Raw and just so authentic. The passion for this rare delicacy!

First time in my 77 years that I've seen digging geoducks. From Texas

Wow now I understand why they are so expensive... So much work to get them out

Most only take about 10 min.

We did this in Alaska in 1978-1979 on Kodiak Island, and we would take a scoop of sand really quick and then grab the neck to prevent it from going down deeper and then dig the sand out and I think it was a lot easier to dig them. We filled a large washtub piled high.

I grew up on Harstine Island in the south sound. We had tons of geoducks at low tide. I would see holes where people dig for the geoducks every once in a while, but not very often because they were just too hard to catch.

HOLY CRAP I LIVE ON HARSTINE!!! We have the house that people always park on! That one right next to the entrance to the beach!! I dig there so you might see me there sometime! It’s nice seeing someone from my favorite place

making me hungry for fresh shellfish! great job father and son. very NICE!

Thats awsome!! That's gotta be so exciting but wow hard work!!

That sand is like clay, holds the hole without the use of a barrel/etc. Nice tides this winter, invite me up. I got Geoduck Skills. Enjoi!

Outstanding.

Can you share the coordinate where I can park the car to the beach that I can dig geoduck ?

Geoducs do not have a foot or a "digger". It does not go deeper as you are digging it out. It just pulls the siphon down. Why so many people confused with razor clams?

sweet video too awesome 😎!!

Fkn thing was just minding its business 😂

You were on Alone? What season? I’ve been binge watching your clamming videos. You are a very good instructor to people like me who want to go clamming. Liked and subscribed.

I’d feel strange holding my dad’s geoduck.

That explains why they are so expensive

Satisfying

I live on the oregon coast (seaside warrenton area) and i am a fan of razor clamming, VERY different from this.

legal places to clam are listed in the site with the rules online wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/species/panopea-generosa#regs-seasons When you read up on the site and the number of people going after them... not going to be real hard to find them, a rather well documented harvest...

good job. I wish we had them here on the east coast. So there is another mollusk that poke out its head similar to geoduck?

The beaches are listed online with all the rules.

Where abouts was this? North/ south of mount vernon/everett/seattle? I've only ever found 1 geoduck, out around edmonds when I was a kid. Also, I appreciate the judas priest reference...your son grew up with some decent music influences

I'm a bearded clam fan. Some have more beard then others.

Yings are full of pearls it’s amazing how many pearls have you found in your searches

When you handed the geoduck to your son I thought 'don't do it, don't do it' and he was a gentleman and didn't do it.

It looks really familiar

Cho thùng xuống rồi có cái muỗng sắt cong co cán dài mà múc cát lên khỏi phải cho tay vớt cát ,cuối cùng hãy bắt ốc .

Very strange. My wife has one of these in her drawer....

Did not know it was pronounced gooey duck lol

Wait in Washington?

dificult work.. but have fun

Looks like there would be an easier way to get them ‼️

We callum googys,

Where's the name of beach or park name?

I thought they poked out of the ground. Why not clamp something down on them so they can't dig down?

Commercial fisherman use 200lbs air power to blow out from 4' underground using air compressor

Crack kills!

Why don't you run a metal rod (12" nail, coat hanger, etc., etc. through the neck, parallel to the surface of the ground so the Geoduck can't retract his neck downwards 2 feet into the ground. Keep the end of that tail on the surface, if possible. Might also try one of those new fish grabbers that work like vice grips.

You just cut off it's neck. It doesn't work. A Geoduck can live upwards to 165 years old. The commercial geoduckers harvest geoducks at 2-3 years old, most less than a 1.5 lbs. Much, much smaller than the Geoducks the recreational clammer might run into. I get many 3 lbs+ and a couple 5 lbs+. Save the Geoduck. Peace, The Happy Geoduck.

First of all they will probably rip their neck off. Second It is illegal to retain the neck without the shell attached.

Most of the public beaches that I go are in the hoods canal and up to Port Townsend areas. You will have to go on very low tides to find them. Follow the regulations to see which beaches are open. They all Have seasons.

Porq no traducís tus videos?

I witnessed a 3 man crew using a high pressure water pump with a couple hundred feet of hose dig for them and they could pull one out in less than 2 mins, no digging just scooping the water and sand away from the hole with a snow shovel while one guy used the water wand to dig the hole.

I think that way of harvesting the clams can only be done by commercial digging. No mechanical advantage for sports diggers.

How do you know where to dig ?

unless the geoduck is showing its neck the hole can be as big as a golf ball. You still end up digging horse clams. Geoducks are found on most public beaches in the Puget Sound. Clallam County, Jefferson County are the only counties that I have gone looking for them.
