How to shuck enormous giant pacific oysters?

I’m not a novice oyster shucker by any measure, but I’ve never shucked jumbo pacific oysters before. Picked up a few and had to smash them open with a hammer after cracking the shells. Those bad boys hold on tight with their massive adductor muscle and I’m not able to pry them open from the hinge. Is there a trick I’m missing?

(Talking about ones that are 7-9” long)
