How to Catch a Quahog
Jody is the last of a dying breed- clawing quahogs out of the mud with nothing more than a rake, a rope, and a small boat.
But for Jody, clamming is much more than just earning a living.
He’s using it to bring his community together
and building a better future for us all.
_____
America is full of ordinary people who wake up every morning to fight for a better world.
They’re not rich.
They’re not famous.
They’re America’s UNSUNG HEROES.
These are their stories.

I just started clamming recreationally for the first time this week, a whole new respect was earned for the hobby. Its tiring and worth while.

Hey brother So So SUPER sorry for your loss. MY brother live in Portsmouth and i live in Warren and I will get to see him later today. We grew up in Portsmouth in Islandpark Mom had six of us by the time she was twenty five we were very poor but ages seven to ten every day in summer as a ringer or picker. Came home everyday with forty to eighty buck's that guy realy helped my family with that job.those were the three best summers of my life

I'll let Jody know - he'll be thrilled to read your kind comment!
Wonderful video, broke my heart though when you talked about your brother. My daughter, Lisabeth was working the E.D. that night and cared for him at Mass. General. She was the BEST and he received superb and gentle care...please be assured. Now, SHE is with him in heaven....we lost her recently to asthma...she was THE BEST R.N., human and my beloved child. I miss her terribly. May her memory be eternal.

I really enjoyed quahoging growing on the Cape!!
Very inspirational! Loved the comment about NOT being invulnerable and to open up to people! Thank you to Justyn from the Vet Center for sharing this video!
Karin, Another great human interest story from the USA ending with the DJI drone video. I liked that one view that flew over Jody's boat and panned upward to see the city in the background. 🎥 Keep up your great work and we'll see you back home soon. 🏄♀

Shout out to the watermen up and down both coasts… cool to see how other guys do things, we Tong for oysters, trot line and run pots for blue crabs, trot line for catfish (mainly blues that are invasive eating up the crab population.
Great video. Jody seems like a great friend neighbor and brother.

As part of my fact checking asked Jody - the quahogger in the video - how to say it correctly. I suspect that both pronunciations are now accepted within the community.
Awesome video my friend!
