Many yrs ago, when I was 8 ish my dad told me his friend had a few geoducks for us. I asked whats a geoduck? He told me it was a duck that lived in the mud. Made sense to me. He said I better bring my short handled smelt net to catch a couple. I was all in. When we arrived at his friends house he told me to wait in the car and he would go talk to his buddy. A few minutes went by (long enough for him to tell his buddy I was waiting with my net) They come out of the house and get me. They position me in front of the garage door and explained that when the door opened i was to hustle inside and net as many as i could before they flew out of the garage. I was primed and ready. Door opens I run in with eyes wide. I imagine that I looked like John Belushi in animal house as he is going up the stairs to take the horse into Dean Fabers office. As I scanned around for several seconds I notice a box of big clams sitting at my feet. It was then I knew I had been duped. LOL!

When I was young at our cabin on Hood Canal, we use to sneak up on them, and one person would stick their finger in the hole just after the squirted, and try to trap the neck against the hole.
Then the other would did like crazy around the hole until it was big enough to find the Geoduck.
We actually got pretty good at it.
But that was 40 years ago :chuckle:
