Skeezix Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 So it was not my best day digging razor clams. First I got hit by a sneaker wave when I was reaching down into a hole --smacked me upside the head and sent a jolt of icy brine down inside my chest waders. Then I pulled a muscle in my lower back while digging. Walking back to the rig with only six clams in my bag (the daily limit is fifteen), Larry the Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Tool pulls up in his pickup. "How's it goin'," he asks. "Oh, pretty good. I pulled a muscle and had to quit digging." I show him my bag. "I only got a half dozen clams." "Tell you what I'll do," he says. Hopping out of his truck, he walks to the back and pulls out three clams and drops them in my bag. "These are clams I took from some folks who were one over their limit.." How nice is that?! Made my day. Here's to Larry . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialed Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 F & W Tools I've encountered are usually pretty cool. Funny that this dude's name is "Larry" too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeezix Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 I was digging between Moclips and Pacific Beach. His name wasn't really Larry... I did have one magic moment before I threw my back out. I was looking down in about twelve inches of water ...between waves ...the water cleared and I saw a hole open the size of a penny! I dove in with my shovel, excavated with the aid of the receding outwash, and pinched up a whopping clam. It was poetry man. It was... It was... God, I think I'm gonna cry.
