GF: Yes I have clammed in Alaska. It's the best. Big limits and big clams. It helps that they have a short window of opportunity and about as many people in the state as live in
Tacoma.

While we never did have clams as big as Alaska's we did one have as many.

When I was a kid my family would tent camp at Copalis. The four of us got our limits in the morning. I believe it was 36 each. My mom would then can clams on a Coleman stove all afternoon. Then we would do it again the next day. Gee, I wonder where all our razor clams went?

In those days there were non-tribal commercial diggers who would drag large mesh bags behind themselves and dig out in the water. They were like machines often digging more than a hundred clams on a tide.
