Now here is the real thing I looked over the cliff and saw that the fish were jumping so I dashed in the truck and went down to the Beach. After a few cast I felt this enormous strike. It fought hard but eventually I prevailed. The fish is on the last hook of the lure. Now don't last but you just might need a magnifying glass to see it but heck I at least caught a fish

Was a reservoir behind Friant Dam call Millerton Lake. I remember a local dive shop operator being called into inspect the dam in the 80's. Came up and said all was well, and there is Cat Fish the size of a VW down there!

It said that Spot Shrimp max out at 9 inches. It might be legit if that guy is two feet tall.

Ok, so maybe our shrimp aren’t really that big but there really mean! ;)

Geoduck that big, are they tough?
-
As boot leather. Really tasty after you spend a half hour or so pounding on the "foot" with a stick. Makes incredible clam fritters, but your shoulder is so sore from the pounding, you can't lift them from the plate.

Geoduck that big, are they tough?
Depends on the age (imagine that). A former boss and mentor is a leader in the Puget Sound shellfish community.
Some years back, the geoduck was becoming scarce due to poaching. Most of the time, harvesting of the clam comes at really low tides (maybe 10 days a year). Poachers use scuba gear to collect them year round, and being the evil spawn they are, they do it in darkness. >:(
Due to the deteriorating water quality and habitat for the geoduck (they don't grow everywhere), Tris Carlson (former boss) devised a method to grow the clam and promote its population in the south sound. Cathy (his wife) was cfo at the time (rip).

So... the short answer is, old ones are tough. Geoduck is highly prized in the Asian markets (that's why they get poached). The younger clams are the best and don't need beating. The flesh is pure white and soft. But... It all comes down to best practices.
Thanks Tris.
