I'm at 250+ sea creatures caught and not a single giant clam yet. How long did it take you to get it? I feel like I'm having terrible RNG right now...

To give perspective:
I caught 7 pearls so far
I caught 20+ scallops so far
Made about 200k right now in the box outside of Nooks from selling the extras.
 
I was visiting my friend's island and I caught two last night. He hasn't caught any yet though.

I can't estimate how long it took me as I wasn't looking for them. I just swam at all bubbles.
 
I haven’t caught that many yet I’ve probably one have been diving a little bit yesterday before going onto sleep and a small while this morning. I’ve caught the isopod as well. Almost around the same time in the morning. I’ve caught 21/40 from the list.
 
Oh my god am I like... super blessed in GIGACLAMS? I've caught like 3-4 already! Compared to 2 vampire squid and straight up 0 isopods. Which rules because I really like how the clams look when they're placed so I'm gonna have clam tanks EVERYWHERE. But I totally want isopods now! I think they're..... weirdly cute? Normally I am so scared of bugs and bug-like things but for whatever reason, isopods just don't bother me as much!
 
they seem to be fairly rare - and plus, they’re fast as hell. i managed to catch one last night as i was just catching whatever i could find lmao. good luck!
 
I caught one tonight. Started yesterday, didn’t count how many till I found one. It ended up being the last one I needed for this months creatures.
 
caught one this afternoon! i did chase it for a bit, but at least in my experience the isopod was faster. maybe i just snuck up on the clam better!
love how it looks in the aquarium though.

I was thinking that I had seen a lot of creatures and not a single gigas clam. Well, I just found one! Good luck, OP!
 
I actually caught two of them today in a row! : P

I found a spot on my island that might be my "lucky diving spot," I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there are certain areas on my island that are "lucky" for fishing- meaning rare fish spawn there very often. I once caught two dorados in a row in one of these spots. I don't know if this is a glitch, programmed this way, or RNG "luck" but these spots seriously work. I found the two giant clams in a potential "lucky" spot on my island.
 
It was the last creature for July I caught. I got two in a row this morning finally, but that was after about four hours of diving, six pearls, two giant isopods, and 6+ inventories full of creatures sold to Timmy and Tommy.
 
I had over 350+ dives yesterday. 5 of those are giant clams, 3 are isopods, 1 vampire squid, 5 pearls and 20+ scallops.
 
I’ve caught the giant clam about 4 times but no vampire squid :( definitely RNG! I’m up to 376 sea life caught too!
 
Wow, RNG is definitely playing against us for at least one of the rarest creatures. That's clear.
