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.

    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.

    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. 🏄‍♀

    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.
