Were these clams taken with traditional bow fishing equipment?    :D

Kingstaken the answer is "Kinda".   I gambled on a shot and won some money and drove to the store and bought them with the money I won.   LOL

I've done my share of clam digging as a child, it's not easy.  The traditional way with a shovel and bucket is fun, but very tediuos as well.  Any clam is a trophy!!!!  LOL.
