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.
Thanks. It looks like I need a boat to get there. It seems that all of these guys never tell you where exactly in the Puget Sound...just a big open sea.
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
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.
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?
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.
واو عمل رائع وافكار جميله ولكن أريد هذا العمل لمجهود و الأشياء مثل هذا وموجوده في المحيط على سطح الماء وهي الان تحت الأرض مره عليه زمن ودفن عليها عداد طبقات رمال واو نها عمل شاق لديك انت و الابن ما اسمو بالتوفيق تحياتى إليكم .⚘⚘
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
I never tried to harvest geoduck before. I want to try this year to see if I can get one. I know the fort flagger open in August, but I don’t know if we can dig in fort townsen. Please let me know if you have any information. I don’t want to drive 4 hrs there if not allowed . Thanks
If you use google and ask how to spell gooey duck This is how you spell it. However if you ask google how to spell geoduck clam. This is how you spell it. Try it there's two spellings.
This is easily one of the most amazing things I've seen. Raw and just so authentic. The passion for this rare delicacy!
Good father, good son relationship.
First time in my 77 years that I've seen digging geoducks. From Texas
I grew up on Harstine Island in the south sound. We had tons of geoducks at low tide.

ur rlly old
That’s how we used to do it too.
geoduck makes me laugh. It looks so funny!!
Wow now I understand why they are so expensive... So much work to get them out
Most only take about 10 min.
Just want to let you know that I really enjoyed the show. Great camera work. Subscribed and liked :)
Awesome, thank you!
Well done, WILLIAM!...it was real hard work.
Thanks for sharing this video...👍💝🌻

How do you cook them, are they fried or boiled? Breaded? Are they chewy? I wouldn't be fond of chewy ones.
This is my natural habitat! I live on the shore of puget sound!
Can you share the coordinate where I can park the car to the beach that I can dig geoduck ?
I live on the oregon coast (seaside warrenton area) and i am a fan of razor clamming, VERY different from this.
Diggin for clams is diggin for clams bud. Not that different.
That thing looks gnarly
Wonderful video
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!

Whats your favorite way to eat geoducks?

sweet video too awesome 😎!!
I thought they poked out of the ground.
Why not clamp something down on them so they can't dig down?
Fkn thing was just minding its business 😂
I’ve been saying G-O duck lol not gooy duck. Have I been mispronouncing it? Also where is this? Ty
Its gooey duck in pronunciation. And to be fair, none of us share our spots, especially in public venues.
Geoduck Clams Port Townsend Wa.
I understand this but, you still need to know what you are looking for or you will end up digging a bunch of Horse clams.
It looks like a phone with a little antenna ( or the more popular comparison which you probably know already and also thought of ) :D
What do you do with doeduck.
Great video.
good
How do they live so deep in the sand?
Thats awsome!! That's gotta be so exciting but wow hard work!!
so cool after great hard work, we are going to heading out this tomorrow, as a newbe clamer, could you share me your spot please?

Looks like he found a gooeyduck.
I should call him…
been to puget sooooo many times n i didnt know there were geoducks. welp to late now ...i dont live in tacoma anymore lol
Where is this at in puget sound. I want to harvest some
Well done guy 🙂
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
What should I do to make it look like seafood, not male's junk?
Outstanding.
Buona sera ma che pesce e un mollusco come si consuma in quale nazione?
Which beach is this? Seems very sandy. I have been to some beaches that are very rocky. Very hard to dig down.
Where this beach called ?
Would like to go try it when low tide .
Thanks
The beaches are listed online with all the rules.
Where's the name of beach or park name?
I’d feel strange holding my dad’s geoduck.
Wait in Washington?
Is it still alive???
Once the bucket is in, use a post hole digger inside the bucket.
Satisfying
Looks like an ostomoy 100%
I realize its not all about getting the goey duck , but it seems like a huge amount of work for one gd , just sayin
That explains why they are so expensive
Location please ?
Notellum beach
Yes Im still working on that.
Great teamwork
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?
You might be able to find Horse neck clams
dificult work.. but have fun
What beach is that on the Washington coast? I would like to hunt these clams
We don't have sea food of that size in New Zealand but seeing how it is cooked and how it tastes would be nice 👍😊
in Hong Kong this is expensive food, usually cut very thin pieces by "Sashimi" or "hot pot - cooked few seconds"
Just cook it the same you would any other clams. It tastes like a big ass clam...which is exactly what it is
Where do you go? I want to try!
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.
It looks really familiar
Yeah, it does to me too.
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.
@@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297 interesting, do you find them only when there’s low ties ?
I have never heard of it
How do they taste?
For clams I feel they have a strong flavor
@@seasonaloutdoorswitherin297 too much for chowder got it 😎
Porq no traducís tus videos?
Why don’t you learn to speak English.
No wonder why the Chinese pay big bucks for it... delicious 😋
Very strange.
My wife has one of these in her drawer....
Cool
Yings are full of pearls it’s amazing how many pearls have you found in your searches
I'm a bearded clam fan. Some have more beard then others.
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.

First of all they will probably rip their neck off. Second It is illegal to retain the neck without the shell attached.
Where is location Let we now .
How do you cook a geoduck
I blanch the clam as to free it from it's shell. Then I cut into strips and, use egg and bread crumbs. Then I fry them in butter.
Leave the poor buggers alone
Apparently you can get 40 bucks per, as they're popular in some places.
anything is fair game when you is hungry
loved it
Cool.
❤❤
You can see the sons butt
Crack kills!
I could have dug for it 3 months ago
I been there clamming once.
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 .
Looks like there would be an easier way to get them ‼️
did anyone else think the son was a toddler until he started talking?
My wife and I both thought you would win Alone, nice seeing you're doing well.
Almost
Just why? 😂
I’m kinda jealous!
where is this beach?
Puget sound Washington
Why Vivian????
Port Townsend
I never tried to harvest geoduck before. I want to try this year to see if I can get one. I know the fort flagger open in August, but I don’t know if we can dig in fort townsen. Please let me know if you have any information.
I don’t want to drive 4 hrs there if not allowed . Thanks
Did not know it was pronounced gooey duck lol
We haven't it....great...
So cool !!!!!!
So if Americans pronounce geoduck as gooeyduck do they also pronounce geologists as gooeyologists?
If you use google and ask how to spell gooey duck This is how you spell it. However if you ask google how to spell geoduck clam. This is how you spell it. Try it there's two spellings.
I don't think that's a geoduck, i think it's a horse clam. Different thing.
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.
We callum googys,
👍 Great
I can eat the whole one by myself
Commercial fisherman use 200lbs air power to blow out from 4' underground using air compressor
Что это за существа? Я таких никогда не видела и не знала, что такие есть. Заранее благодарна за ответ
