00:00:15With scorching temperatures bearing down on the bayou...
00:00:20Oh, it's hot!
00:00:22Whoa! Watch them, peewee, watch them!
00:00:25When it's hot, they're hungry. We're actually catching good.
00:00:28The merciless heat brings a new set of challenges.
00:00:32I'm gonna try to keep them wet and keep them cool.
00:00:35You're in an aluminum boat, and it's like them alligators in a frying pan, just without no grease.
00:00:40And out here...
00:00:41Oh!
00:00:43...small mistakes...
00:00:44What do I don't have in a boat?
00:00:45Or a burlap.
00:00:46...turn into big trouble quits.
00:00:48Skin is slipping from his body.
00:00:51Hunters race against time to protect their catch.
00:00:54Right there, T.
00:00:56F***ing T.
00:00:57I want my eye and themselves.
00:01:00Right there!
00:01:01Straight ahead, straight ahead!
00:01:02From the unrelenting heat.
00:01:08Did that do that on its own?
00:01:10Felt like something in the propeller.
00:01:12Oh!
00:01:17Run this battlefront on your life
00:01:20All the pain through the struggle and the strife
00:01:22Now there's just one thing you got left to do
00:01:26Light them ice, let it burn, and break them through
00:01:34Like a wild horse ball and you're out of control
00:01:40Like a loaded pistol, like a raging storm
00:01:43You got thunder in your veins
00:01:45You won't stop till your dying day comes your way
00:02:01As day breaks in Pierre Park, King of the Swamp, Troy Landry and his deckhand Pickle, we gear up for
00:02:08the hottest day of the season
00:02:11Besides dealing with the high water and the low water, now we're in a heat wave
00:02:18They're talking about a heat index of over 100
00:02:20It's going to be hard on us, but what I'm really worried about is saving our alligator
00:02:25Southern Louisiana has one of the most dangerous heat indexes in the United States
00:02:31The area's high temperatures and oppressive levels of humidity
00:02:35Prevent sweat from easily evaporating and trap heat inside the body
00:02:43To help handle the heat
00:02:45Troy's called in some backup
00:02:47I hope you're ready to work
00:02:50I'm always ready
00:02:52Tony's going to come help us set today
00:02:54Because they're giving real hot
00:02:55This year's supposed to be the hottest day of the year
00:02:58If you can help us, we're going to finish early
00:03:00When I got an alligator on it, just leave it, we'll pick him up
00:03:03All right, let's go to work, let's get it
00:03:05The faster we run, the faster we can get the gators in and put them on ice
00:03:11What I'm going to do is I'm going to let Tony go ahead of me
00:03:13Peewee and I are going to focus only on the lines with gators on them
00:03:16We'll put them all in my boat, keep them cool, keep them covered
00:03:19And the lines with nothing on them, Tony's going to rebate them for us
00:03:28Got some help today
00:03:39I see him pulling out
00:03:45Talk to me
00:03:46That's over there
00:03:50It's a good one
00:03:51Oh, that water sucked in, boy
00:04:01Get the gun
00:04:07Watch it, Peewee, watch
00:04:09Oh, he's a good one, dude
00:04:11Oh, yeah, buddy
00:04:13First line of the deal
00:04:15Oh, yeah
00:04:18Yeah, dude
00:04:21Good island, kid
00:04:22Oh, it's too cold, isn't it?
00:04:26Bring him up, bring him up
00:04:28Yeah
00:04:34Come on, Cinderella, take your slippers off
00:04:36Let's go
00:04:54What's the matter?
00:04:56What's all that screaming and hollering?
00:04:59Those are my elbows, man
00:05:00Got the tip of my thumb
00:05:02I think let's man-handle him, huh?
00:05:04Let's try one today
00:05:06Ready?
00:05:07Up in here
00:05:07Ready?
00:05:08One, two, three, go
00:05:11This 12-footer is a strong start to the day
00:05:14But the hunters know they have to keep it rolling
00:05:17or risk losing their profit
00:05:19That heat drains you, huh?
00:05:22With the heat wave we have
00:05:23we gotta keep that fast pace going
00:05:26so we can cool that meat down as soon as possible
00:05:29Very, very important
00:05:30More important than ever
00:05:31these days
00:05:32because they're buying them mostly for the meat
00:05:34How hot do you think it is right now?
00:05:37It feels like about 99 degrees
00:05:41Woo!
00:05:42Hot escape, baby!
00:05:56Meanwhile, in Bayou Chasseur
00:05:59Joey Edgar and his daughter Callie
00:06:02head out in the record heat wave
00:06:03The veteran hunter knows
00:06:06they'll need to take care of their catch
00:06:08and each other
00:06:09It's already hot
00:06:10Yeah, very hot
00:06:13We gotta stay hydrated
00:06:16Number one
00:06:16Number two, we gotta take care of our alligators
00:06:20We gotta watch we don't get them too hot
00:06:22We don't want them to fall
00:06:23On a hot day like this
00:06:25you have to move fast
00:06:26because as hot as it is
00:06:28these alligators are not gonna last long
00:06:30but at the same time
00:06:31I don't wanna kill myself and my little girl
00:06:34We need to stay hydrated
00:06:35We need to stay cool
00:06:37It's gonna be a long, hot, rough day
00:06:47They got one?
00:06:50I think so
00:06:54Go on the other side
00:06:56It looked pretty tight
00:07:06I don't know how big he is
00:07:07Pretty good
00:07:09Decent
00:07:21Hold on, Dad
00:07:24Hold on, Dad
00:07:24Don't lose him
00:07:25Give me a shot
00:07:26Give me a shot
00:07:29Oh my god
00:07:34They better get a shot on him
00:07:42Hold him, Daddy
00:07:44Oh my god
00:07:45Hold him, Daddy
00:07:56Good job, Daddy
00:07:58Not a bad start
00:07:59That's a pretty decent alligator
00:08:00Yeah
00:08:01Starting the day off with this nine-footer
00:08:03is a good sign that even though the heat is unbearable
00:08:06the hunters can expect a major payoff
00:08:09Boy, it's hot already, huh?
00:08:11Mm-hmm
00:08:12It's tough
00:08:13I'm soaking wet
00:08:14The climate is taking control
00:08:15But we gotta hurry up
00:08:17because it doesn't take long for the alligator to start slipping and rot
00:08:21Hot as it is right now
00:08:23Right
00:08:23They're predicting that it's gonna be the hottest day of the year
00:08:26And I'm worried about these alligators today
00:08:29But at the same time, these alligators respond to heat well
00:08:33They're real active when it's hot
00:08:36We're probably gonna catch a boatload
00:08:38Hotest day of the year
00:08:39We got to move as fast as we can
00:08:41Okay
00:08:42We don't wanna stay out of here too long
00:08:43Okay
00:08:58Over in Bayou Coulee
00:09:00The heat index has already hit a sweltering 95 degrees Fahrenheit
00:09:06Veteran hunter Bruce Mitchell and his deckhand Anna Rebeck
00:09:10know the only way to beat this heat
00:09:12is to move like lightning
00:09:14Supposed to be the hottest day of the year, they said
00:09:17I don't know, it's hot now
00:09:18And it's gonna get hotter
00:09:20Of course it's the hottest day of the year when we're gator hunting
00:09:22Of course
00:09:23We gotta get them out of here
00:09:24Get them back to the dock as fast as we can
00:09:27We don't want them to spoil
00:09:28All right, let's go
00:09:30We got about 20-something lines to run
00:09:32We need to hurry up, run these lines, and get out of here
00:09:35Because it's hot
00:09:37It is hot today
00:09:41It's down, you see it?
00:09:42Straight out
00:09:42Oh yeah
00:09:47Look
00:09:48What'd you see?
00:09:49I saw something move
00:09:51Straight ahead?
00:09:52Yeah
00:09:53Oh, I see the line
00:09:55Can't go on that
00:10:00Got it?
00:10:04Get him up, get him up
00:10:07Watch him
00:10:08Watch him
00:10:15Watch him
00:10:15There he is
00:10:16Oh
00:10:21Oh, he's up
00:10:23Move him up
00:10:24Try it
00:10:26Watch him
00:10:32Shoot him, shoot him
00:10:39Ha-ha
00:10:40Ha-ha
00:10:41Got a rain shower and a
00:10:42And a gator
00:10:44Woo
00:10:45Let's get him in the boat
00:10:46Look at that
00:10:46He left teeth marks
00:10:48I know
00:10:49Hey, I'd rather it on my boat than me
00:10:50Yeah, me too
00:10:51Get him up
00:10:52Yep
00:10:53This rowdy seven-footer starts the day
00:10:56But the heat keeps coming
00:10:58And the hunters know
00:10:59They need to stay on the move
00:11:02Man, it's hot
00:11:04Woo
00:11:04I know this is going to be a tough day on us
00:11:06Because there's really nothing we can do
00:11:08Except keep running these lines as quickly as we can
00:11:10No breaks, no lunch
00:11:12We just got to keep pushing
00:11:13Because we cannot let these gators spoil
00:11:16That's our money in the boat
00:11:17I don't doubt
00:11:18Even if it gets too hot, Mr. Bruce
00:11:20I'm sure you have a plan for this
00:11:22I got a plan for everything
00:11:23You know that
00:11:24You're doing this long enough
00:11:26Let's go catch more gators
00:11:40Across the basin
00:11:42In Bayou Dushan
00:11:43Boy, Zach
00:11:45It's going to be hot, buddy
00:11:47Sun just came out
00:11:48I'm already feeling it on my skin
00:11:50Daniel Edgar and his deckhand Zach Ketchum
00:11:53Know all too well
00:11:54The heat can threaten their catch
00:11:57So they've got a plan
00:11:58To bring in the freshest gators possible
00:12:01We've just got a couple of lines out
00:12:03We picked most of them up
00:12:05Let's spend most of our time
00:12:07With the rod and reel and trouble hook
00:12:09Hell yeah
00:12:09To deal with this extreme heat today
00:12:12Our plan is to hunt
00:12:15With the rod and reel and trouble hook
00:12:16Let's get some fresh ones, buddy
00:12:18Come on
00:12:20Our buyers
00:12:21They know it's extremely hot
00:12:23And if we bring them any bad alligator
00:12:25They're not going to pay us
00:12:26So we're going to work hard
00:12:28Get some of these alligators
00:12:30And get them to market
00:12:32If a gator gets hooked
00:12:34And retreats to land
00:12:35The heat can destroy the hide
00:12:37Before the hunters reach it
00:12:46Right here
00:12:52Right there
00:12:55Straight ahead
00:12:55Straight ahead
00:12:56God, that's a big one
00:12:58I'm going to get them
00:13:16I gotta get my stuff ready
00:13:18Yeah, that's a big one
00:13:29Oh
00:13:34God, that's a really big one
00:13:40Yeah
00:13:42Oh
00:13:44Get a big damn, Zach
00:13:49Shoot him, Zach
00:13:51Shoot him
00:13:53Shoot him
00:13:53I don't want to lose him
00:13:54Oh my God
00:13:55Oh
00:14:00Oh
00:14:00In Bayou Duchenne
00:14:02Oh my God
00:14:04Daniel's holding on for dear life
00:14:06After lassoing a monster
00:14:08Watch your feet
00:14:09Watch your feet
00:14:10Get the gun
00:14:11Get a big damn, Zach
00:14:14Oh
00:14:14Still got him
00:14:16Shoot him
00:14:17Shoot him
00:14:17I don't want to lose him
00:14:18Watch your feet
00:14:19Watch your feet
00:14:19Watch your feet
00:14:24Oh
00:14:24Oh
00:14:28Hold him
00:14:29Hold him
00:14:29Oh
00:14:30Shoot him
00:14:31Back
00:14:42Oh
00:14:47Busting me
00:14:49That's going to be a fresh alligator
00:14:51And it doesn't get fresher than that
00:14:53There you go
00:14:55That's a nice one
00:14:59Okay, go ahead
00:15:01Right off the bat
00:15:02Talk about beating the heat
00:15:04Come on
00:15:05Daniel and Zach's strategy
00:15:07Is working so far
00:15:09But the hunters know
00:15:10There's no time to waste
00:15:12If they want to protect their profits
00:15:14From a sweltering heat
00:15:15We lost two alligators
00:15:17To the heat yesterday
00:15:18The buyer did not accept them
00:15:19And it's already as hot as it was yesterday
00:15:21In the middle of the afternoon
00:15:22So we have to catch these gators
00:15:24And get them back to the buyer
00:15:25Otherwise
00:15:26We're going negative financially
00:15:29That's how you keep them gators fresh
00:15:31We fixing to put it in action
00:15:34Yeah
00:15:49Meanwhile
00:15:50In Cane Ridge Slough
00:15:52As the heat index clouds above 100
00:15:55Ronnie Adams and his deckhand Timmy O'Quarr
00:15:59Are hoping the brutal temps
00:16:00To reward them
00:16:01With a boatload of monsters
00:16:04Boy, you can feel that heat, huh?
00:16:06Yeah, already
00:16:07Like coming off the water
00:16:09Well, that'll make them gators bite more, baby
00:16:11I hope
00:16:13You know, this morning waking up
00:16:14The heat cranked up quick
00:16:16I mean, you literally could probably cook an egg
00:16:19On the deck of my boat
00:16:20You're definitely going to suffer
00:16:21In this brutal heat
00:16:22But I feel in the end
00:16:24It's going to pay off very well
00:16:31Uh-oh
00:16:32Well, what we got over here, T, to the left here
00:16:35Oh, yeah, crime scene
00:16:37I don't see the gator, though
00:16:38No, I don't see him either, bro
00:16:44Come on, baby
00:16:45Come on, baby
00:16:50How it feels, T, good?
00:16:52Yeah, I think it feels heavy
00:16:53Ooh, T, that's a good one, baby
00:16:54Get the gun, baby
00:16:57Ooh, ooh
00:16:59T, T, we got us a jackhammer, baby
00:17:03That's a good one, T
00:17:06Oh, yeah, my baby
00:17:10Cool, ooh
00:17:11Yeah
00:17:17Yeah
00:17:18Boy, you saw it look like a water walker there, baby
00:17:25Right there, T, right there, T
00:17:35That a boy, T
00:17:36Good job, my dude
00:17:40That's a good gator
00:17:41Oh, yeah
00:17:42Hell to the yeah, baby
00:17:45Good job
00:17:47Grab that on, T
00:17:48You got a little weight to him, bro
00:17:51Huh?
00:17:51Yeah, you got some weight
00:17:53Ronnie and Timmy start the day with a 7 1⁄2 footer
00:17:57But the celebration doesn't last long
00:18:01Oh
00:18:03What did I don't have in the boat?
00:18:06What?
00:18:06All the burlap
00:18:07I cleaned the boat yesterday, it's sitting on my wharf
00:18:11Oh, bro, we're at the very end
00:18:13We're 40 minutes from the camp
00:18:14That burlap is a lifesaver for these alligators
00:18:18Because if you don't cover them up, they'll start cooking
00:18:21Their skin will start slipping, they'll start peeling
00:18:24And as soon as the alligator buyer sees that, they don't want it
00:18:27Because they know right away it's bad
00:18:29Slipping is every hunter's worst nightmare
00:18:32The gator's skin separates from the meat
00:18:35Rendering the hide impossible to sell
00:18:38I hope it don't get too hot
00:18:39If we got bad gators in the boat
00:18:41That's money coming out of both our pockets
00:18:44You ready?
00:18:45Yep
00:18:45All right, let's roll
00:18:48Got to move fast, baby
00:18:59Across the basin in Bayou Chasseur
00:19:02We're on five already
00:19:04It's a good day
00:19:06Today it's a double-edged sword
00:19:08We're catching good
00:19:09But now we're moving slow
00:19:10I'm hot
00:19:11Yeah
00:19:11Joey and Callie are off to a hot start
00:19:14And the veteran hunters are expecting even more in this heat wave
00:19:19Not only do we have to be careful and take care of these alligators
00:19:23Get ready, we're fixing to load the boat
00:19:25Usually when it's real hot
00:19:27These alligators bite and they're real active
00:19:37Hey, daddy's on the line, the line's tight
00:19:39Hey, we got one
00:19:42Big
00:19:45Got the tires off
00:19:54It's a good alligator
00:19:56It's a real good alligator
00:20:05Hold him, don't let, don't go in the water
00:20:06Don't go in the water
00:20:09Whoa
00:20:10Hold him, daddy, hold him
00:20:12Whoa
00:20:13Good one
00:20:13Give me a good shot
00:20:18Burn in my hand
00:20:23Whoa
00:20:25All right, Jimmy
00:20:26Give me a shot
00:20:27Give me a shot
00:20:28Cool
00:20:29Strong
00:20:30Whoa
00:20:31Hold him, daddy, hold him
00:20:38Got him
00:20:39Whoa
00:20:39Good job
00:20:41Good job
00:20:42It's a nice alligator
00:20:43The hunters bring in another big haul
00:20:46But the heat that's helping them catch is also putting their load at risk
00:20:51I'm worried about these alligators slipping
00:20:54Look at here, Tooty
00:20:55His skin is slipping from his body
00:20:58Yeah
00:20:58See how it's flaking off
00:20:59Yeah
00:21:00I'm gonna try to keep them wet and keep them cool
00:21:02Okay
00:21:02It's the hottest day of the year
00:21:04I don't want to lose our load of alligators
00:21:05All right
00:21:06It was so hot that this alligator's skin is actually slipping while it was still alive
00:21:12I've never seen that in my time
00:21:15I'm really concerned about today
00:21:16Our health and the alligators
00:21:18Not good
00:21:20We're gonna have to come up with some kind of strategy to keep these alligators cool
00:21:23It's gonna be a hot one today
00:21:34Across the swamp
00:21:35In Bayou Brule
00:21:37Troy and Pickle are worried about losing gators to the stifling heat
00:21:43Tony got down one
00:21:45Tony's doing good, man
00:21:46Tony's doing good
00:21:48Fortunately, they called in their buddy Tony
00:21:51To run ahead and rebate any gatorless lines
00:21:56Tony been here
00:21:58Fresh chicken
00:21:59I like to run lines fast
00:22:01Especially when they're giving hot weather like this
00:22:04By sending Tony ahead of us
00:22:07If there's nothing on the line, we don't have to stop
00:22:09We might go eight or ten lines before having to stop
00:22:12And if we see a line down
00:22:14Well, we know Tony left a gator for
00:22:27Shoot a line
00:22:29Shoot a line
00:22:29Shoot a line
00:22:30Shoot a line
00:22:32Shoot a line
00:22:33Shoot a line
00:22:33Shoot a line
00:22:36I'm coming
00:22:40Oh lord, have mercy
00:22:42Oh, they got me in the back
00:22:43You going to the bank?
00:22:44Yeah, hold on
00:22:47Oh, no, I don't know about this one.
00:22:49Huh?
00:22:50Oh, Lord.
00:22:50Give me the gun.
00:22:52Yeah, I'm too scared.
00:22:53You make me do that too much.
00:22:56Oh, watch him.
00:22:57Watch him.
00:22:58Be careful.
00:22:58Be careful.
00:23:04Back in Bayou Brule, Troy Landry is facing off with a monster.
00:23:10Give me the gun.
00:23:10I'm gonna go.
00:23:11Yeah, I'm too scared.
00:23:12You make me do that too much.
00:23:13I need to get behind him.
00:23:15Be careful.
00:23:16Be careful.
00:23:18Gotta get behind him.
00:23:21Troy Landry, if that alligator runs in this loop.
00:23:25Whew.
00:23:29How come you always send me on the bank?
00:23:32I was too scared I wasn't getting out on that one.
00:23:33He had too much slacking on.
00:23:34You can run faster than me, I'm sure.
00:23:37I don't like them things, man.
00:23:39Hey!
00:23:40What?
00:23:40Come on.
00:23:41Come on.
00:23:43Damn, he jumped at me.
00:23:44Don't do that.
00:23:45Don't do that.
00:23:47He looked like he was about to charge.
00:23:49That was pretty damn scary.
00:23:53I think you did on purpose to send me up there.
00:23:56Not true.
00:23:57You always send me.
00:23:58First time you got to do it.
00:24:00I think you did on purpose.
00:24:02The hunters have bagged another 10-footer, but Troy knows there's no time to let off the gas.
00:24:10We're filling the boat up, and hot like it is, we got to cool that meat down as soon as
00:24:15possible, so it's helping us out a lot to do by sending Tony ahead of us, big time.
00:24:21Come on, Pete, hustle.
00:24:23Don't let's do it.
00:24:24Hold on.
00:24:26I got nothing to hold on.
00:24:28That's how we can run together, then, to show it.
00:24:42In Bayou Kool-Aid, Bruce and Anna are stacking up gators fast, but with a ton of lines left to
00:24:49run, this rising heat could spoil their haul.
00:24:53Mr. Bruce, these gators are starting to slip. We've got to do something.
00:24:56I've got an idea, I think. Touch the water. Feel how cool the water is.
00:25:03Yeah, it is cool.
00:25:04Looking good and shady over here. Let's get over here and feel that water.
00:25:11All right, now. What we're going to do, we're going to tie these gators up.
00:25:17We're going to throw them in the water right here. I hate to do it, but I don't know what
00:25:22else to do. It's so hot.
00:25:24We're going to tie these gators together, and we're going to put them in the water.
00:25:29I've done this a lot of times.
00:25:31Have you really?
00:25:32Yeah.
00:25:33And just keep them cool. And then we're going to go run the rest of our lines and come back
00:25:36and pick these gators up.
00:25:38I've never done this.
00:25:40I broke down before. Had to do this.
00:25:44And then walked down the railroad track until I got to a town to call. My father-in-law was
00:25:49going to get me.
00:25:53That was back when they had tape on us. You don't know about them, do you?
00:25:56Not really.
00:25:58No.
00:25:59Come on, let's get these gators in the water. One, two, three, go.
00:26:03Now we got it.
00:26:05The gators, when they're fresh, they sink. So they down in the water, and the water's a lot cooler than
00:26:10the air temperature.
00:26:11So that preserves them. So now we get to go run the rest of our lines because we got these
00:26:17on ice.
00:26:18Get it down low because I don't want nobody to see it.
00:26:20You can't tell.
00:26:22Come on.
00:26:23Let's go run some more lines.
00:26:24I don't see nothing.
00:26:27We'll be back in a little bit to get them.
00:26:40Over in Bayou Duchenne, hoping to beat the heat, Daniel and Zach only set ten lines.
00:26:47They're counting on Zach's rod and reel to fill the boat in a hurry.
00:26:51This is one of those really hot days to have to take care of these alligators.
00:26:56We can fill up the boat with the rod and reel and the lines before noon. I'm sure we can
00:27:00do it.
00:27:01You ready?
00:27:01I'm ready.
00:27:02Come on.
00:27:03Let's go get them, buddy.
00:27:04Yeah, we're not going to be talking much.
00:27:06With this extreme heat, we've got to get these alligators in early.
00:27:10We don't want to spend too much time running lines.
00:27:12We've put out a few lines as a backup.
00:27:16But Zach and I's number one plane is rod and reel, rod and reel, rod and reel.
00:27:27Zach, Zach.
00:27:33I don't know how big he is, but it's an alligator.
00:27:41Got him, buddy?
00:27:41Yeah, I got him.
00:27:42Hold on to it, buddy.
00:27:43That's a bigger one.
00:27:45Look at the bubbles on that thing.
00:27:47About to be your show, pot.
00:27:48You ready?
00:27:50That might get him.
00:27:52That might be the perfect throw.
00:27:53Right on top of him.
00:27:54Oh, did you hit him?
00:27:55Oh, I lost him.
00:27:56You have him?
00:27:57That's all you.
00:27:57That's all you.
00:27:58That's all you.
00:27:59Get it.
00:27:59Get it.
00:27:59Get it.
00:28:03Shoot him, Zach.
00:28:12He hooked himself again.
00:28:14Hold him.
00:28:15Hold him.
00:28:15I got him, buddy.
00:28:16Put more into him.
00:28:17Put more into him.
00:28:17I got him, buddy.
00:28:18Hold him.
00:28:20Shoot him, Zach.
00:28:28Oh, yeah, dude.
00:28:30Good shot.
00:28:32Good shot.
00:28:33All right.
00:28:33Good shot.
00:28:35Sun still hasn't come up.
00:28:37Those processors are going to get some fresh alligator meat today.
00:28:40Big ones, too, buddy.
00:28:41Uh-huh.
00:28:42Big one.
00:28:43Big one.
00:28:44Daniel and Zach are piling up giants at a blistering pace.
00:28:48But the hunters know that they have less time than usual.
00:28:52Catching gators on the rod and reel is the fastest way to get these gators in the boat and keep
00:28:56them fresh.
00:28:56But with every alligator we get in this boat, the clock is ticking.
00:29:00It's so hot out here, we need to get back to the dock before noon or these gators are all
00:29:04going to spoil.
00:29:05Head in early before 12?
00:29:07Come on.
00:29:08We're rocking and rolling today, Daniel.
00:29:11I'm ready.
00:29:12I'm ready.
00:29:12Lock and load, baby.
00:29:13Let's get them.
00:29:29Meanwhile, in Cane Ridge Slough, Ronnie and Timmy forgot the burlap they need to keep their gators cool.
00:29:37And now man and beast are feeling the heat.
00:29:41They got hot just now, bro.
00:29:43Yeah, it's getting hotter and hotter.
00:29:45The heat index is well over 100, and I mean, we're cooking.
00:29:49But we got to push through this, because right now, I got a few more lines to go before I
00:29:54can get to the camp and get this burlap.
00:29:55And if I don't get it done in time, these gators are going to cook.
00:30:01Hot, baby.
00:30:03Let's get up and run to the next one.
00:30:12Oh, I see something there.
00:30:14What is going on, team?
00:30:15There's something right behind it.
00:30:21Grass is moving.
00:30:22Yeah, bro.
00:30:27Oh, hell yeah, boy.
00:30:30Give me the gun.
00:30:31Get the gun.
00:30:36See if I can get him untangled here, dude.
00:30:40Nah, I got him, baby.
00:30:43Dude, this sound bitch feels heavy, bro.
00:30:46Yeah, team!
00:30:47That's a big one, baby!
00:30:51Ooh, look at the size of this son of a gun.
00:30:54Come on, big boy.
00:30:57Mother freak of team.
00:31:00Oh, I had to let go.
00:31:22Ronnie lost his grip on a giant, and he's praying it's still hooked.
00:31:27Shoot!
00:31:27I hope he ain't get off, bro.
00:31:29I had to let go.
00:31:30He's gonna pull my hand off.
00:31:31Yeah.
00:31:33Come on, boy.
00:31:34That big son of a bitch, boy.
00:31:36Hey, hey!
00:31:38Boy, this is a hammer, son.
00:31:40Talk about a dinosaur, Jack.
00:31:42That's one gun big, bro.
00:31:47Oh, he's in the road, T.
00:31:48You gotta shoot him.
00:31:49Shoot him, T.
00:31:50Shoot him, T.
00:31:51He's gonna pop it.
00:32:00Hell yeah, baby!
00:32:02That's a hammer, T.T. Tucker!
00:32:05One, two, three.
00:32:09Get him, T.
00:32:10Roll him, man, baby.
00:32:12Roll him, man, T.
00:32:14Roll him, man, T.
00:32:16That's it, baby.
00:32:17Hey!
00:32:18That's it, baby!
00:32:20Thanks to Timmy's quick shooting,
00:32:22the hunters land a giant 11-footer,
00:32:25but the heat has taken its toll on the hunters
00:32:28and the gators.
00:32:29You're in an aluminum boat,
00:32:30and it's like them alligators in a frying pan,
00:32:32just without no grease.
00:32:34The buyers are not buying for skins no more.
00:32:37They are strictly buying for meat,
00:32:38and that meat better be nice and cool when they get it.
00:32:41If not, they're not gonna take it.
00:32:43Click, click.
00:32:44All right, now I'm worried about the meat now,
00:32:46so we got to hurry now, baby.
00:32:58Over in Bayou Chasseur...
00:33:01Oh, it's hot.
00:33:02Joey and Callie have already lost one gator to the heat,
00:33:06and the hunters know they'll need to find a solution
00:33:08before the situation gets even worse.
00:33:11It's getting late, it's hot.
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:14Today, I'm worried now.
00:33:16We're gonna have to cool these alligators off
00:33:18or we're gonna lose them.
00:33:19When you have really, really extreme heat,
00:33:21these alligators not only slip,
00:33:23but the meat gets bad.
00:33:25As alligator fishermen,
00:33:27we cannot sell alligators that are no good.
00:33:34It's tight, and the line's tight today.
00:33:36We can see.
00:33:36Might be a big one.
00:33:48I think it's going way over there.
00:33:52Give it to Dad.
00:33:54Get your gun.
00:34:01All right, give me a good shot, Dad.
00:34:03Good alligators.
00:34:06Hold him, Dad.
00:34:10Whoa!
00:34:11Hold him, Daddy.
00:34:12Hold him!
00:34:12Don't go in the water.
00:34:13I don't want to go in the water.
00:34:14You've got to kill this thing, Daddy.
00:34:19Give me a good shot.
00:34:31Good shot.
00:34:32God.
00:34:33Good shot.
00:34:34Tell you, I just hope to God we don't lose these alligators.
00:34:37They'd be all for nothing.
00:34:38With the boat filling up fast and temperatures rising,
00:34:42Joey knows he needs to lean on his swamp knowledge
00:34:45to help the hunters save their catch.
00:34:48I got an idea.
00:34:50The way that you old people used to do it.
00:34:54Lily's?
00:34:55Look at how much water the root system holds.
00:34:57Yeah.
00:34:59Burlap is just a little too porous.
00:35:01It don't hold the moisture in it.
00:35:03Right.
00:35:03You can wet burlap and then...
00:35:05Dries right back up.
00:35:07We're gonna throw that on top of them.
00:35:08In our burlap.
00:35:10And we just go a little bit as we go.
00:35:12I think that's good.
00:35:13Add a little bit more.
00:35:15Lily pads have an extensive root system
00:35:17that holds massive amounts of water.
00:35:21In sunlight, the water evaporates
00:35:23and pulls heat from the air just like a swamp cooler.
00:35:27Spreading over a hot gator,
00:35:29the lilies help stop the catch from spoiling.
00:35:33It is very interesting, the techniques that my family uses.
00:35:36I mean, we have airboats, high-powered rifles,
00:35:39and then my dad's saying that we can use water lilies
00:35:41to cool the alligators down.
00:35:42I mean, it's just very mind-blowing.
00:35:45A slipping alligator ain't worth anything.
00:35:47What we just done, that'll help them.
00:35:49But we gotta hurry.
00:35:50Hot as it is right now.
00:36:04Meanwhile, in Bayou Brule,
00:36:07Troy and Pickle's friend Tony has been helping the hunters
00:36:10with their heavy workload during the heat wave.
00:36:14See the line?
00:36:16Yeah, I do.
00:36:17Tony should have been here, though.
00:36:20Damn.
00:36:21But now it seems he's gone missing.
00:36:23I thought Tony would have passed here already.
00:36:27Rebaited, P.
00:36:28This heat wave, we actually catching good.
00:36:31Alligators are reptiles, and when it's hot, they hungry.
00:36:34So it's a good thing we had Tony with us.
00:36:38Nothing, P?
00:36:39No.
00:36:40Where's Tony?
00:36:41That's what I want to know.
00:36:42I don't know.
00:36:43I'm worried something might have happened to Tony.
00:36:46We ain't seen him in too long.
00:36:48I want to keep that fast pace going so we can finish early.
00:36:52I don't know what's going on, because Tony was baiting.
00:36:55He had been baiting all morning for us.
00:36:57Now, what was going so good could, you know,
00:37:00we could have a mess up here.
00:37:08Look right there.
00:37:09Hey!
00:37:15What's the matter?
00:37:16We were wondering where you at.
00:37:18The line climbed up.
00:37:19Oh, Lord.
00:37:20The fuel get hot and it shut off.
00:37:22I'm pumping and running and stopped, so.
00:37:24Them big tanks, you've got to clean them every once in a while.
00:37:27Indeed.
00:37:27You dumped it out?
00:37:29You dumped your field out?
00:37:30Yeah, I dumped it out.
00:37:31How long have you been here?
00:37:32Probably about 45 minutes, huh?
00:37:34Okay.
00:37:35Been a while.
00:37:36There's got to be something with the fuel,
00:37:37because I know that's what it is.
00:37:40It's not getting enough gas.
00:37:42I find Tony, and he's got motor problems.
00:37:46The fuel filter was stopped up.
00:37:48He wasn't getting no fuel.
00:37:50That's the biggest part of your problem right there.
00:37:52Your hose was spent right there.
00:37:55See for the start now.
00:37:56Hey!
00:37:56Hey!
00:37:57Oh, yeah.
00:37:58What is that?
00:37:59That's only 5-3.
00:38:00Look at that stick he got.
00:38:02What kind of rig?
00:38:03That's a rig.
00:38:05That's a rig.
00:38:05Look at this.
00:38:06What?
00:38:07Oh, that's my power trip.
00:38:08It's my motor loan.
00:38:09That's your power trip.
00:38:11It's my motor loan.
00:38:12I've seen it all now.
00:38:13We finally got Tony's motor going again,
00:38:17but it cost us a little over an hour
00:38:19to get him back going.
00:38:21So all the progress we made this morning
00:38:23by Tony helping us, we just lost it.
00:38:26We lost it all.
00:38:27Now we got an alligator in the sun that's really hot,
00:38:30and we still got lines to run.
00:38:32Tony will head home to fix his motor,
00:38:34leaving Troy and Pickle in a race against the heat alone.
00:38:38Now when you get home, clean that tank
00:38:40and change your fuel filter.
00:38:43All right, peewee, let's go. It's hot.
00:38:53Over in Bayou Coulee,
00:38:55earlier Bruce sank some gators in the cool water
00:38:58to keep them from spoiling in the heat.
00:39:01Now Anna's worried,
00:39:02and it turns out she should be.
00:39:05Who is hot?
00:39:06Mr. Bruce, what if someone takes our gators?
00:39:09We ain't got no choice.
00:39:11If they take them, they take them,
00:39:14but we got to take a chance.
00:39:15It's too hot.
00:39:16OK.
00:39:19It's pulled out!
00:39:21Line's down.
00:39:22It's kind of hanging out this way a little bit.
00:39:24Yeah, it's kind of pulled out.
00:39:26The drink's floating.
00:39:30That don't feel right, Mr. Bruce.
00:39:36Um...
00:39:36That's cut.
00:39:37How smooth it is right here?
00:39:39That's not good.
00:39:40Nope.
00:39:41Poachers are in the area.
00:39:43Man, I ain't seen a boat.
00:39:44I ain't even heard a boat.
00:39:46Someone's in the area.
00:39:47I keep looking all around,
00:39:48and I don't see no boats.
00:39:50But if somebody finds these gators,
00:39:53they gonna take them.
00:39:54We gotta hurry up and do it.
00:39:55Pull it up, let's bait it,
00:39:56and get on down the river.
00:39:58Come on, we got to hurry.
00:39:59Poachers don't care.
00:40:00They will cut that tag off,
00:40:01put that tag on it.
00:40:03So that's another thing
00:40:04we gotta worry about out here.
00:40:07With a few more lines to run
00:40:08before they can check on their hidden gators,
00:40:11the hunters have no choice
00:40:12but to crank up the pace even higher.
00:40:18Look!
00:40:20Line's out!
00:40:21Okay, good.
00:40:25Heavy.
00:40:30Get the gun, Mr. Burse!
00:40:32Get the gun!
00:40:32We got something?
00:40:33Yeah.
00:40:40Whoa!
00:40:41Whoa!
00:40:43Come on, dude.
00:40:45Doesn't like a top.
00:40:52Oh!
00:40:53Whoa!
00:40:54Just like him!
00:40:59Oh, no!
00:41:05Watch his tail!
00:41:07What can you do?
00:41:08Mr. Burse, get him!
00:41:10Oh, yeah.
00:41:10Does the gun still work?
00:41:11I don't know.
00:41:12We're gonna find out in a minute.
00:41:13Bruce and Anna square off with a metal-chewing monster.
00:41:21Come on, put him up.
00:41:28Oh, I can't believe you did that.
00:41:30With poachers possibly still in the area,
00:41:33a chewed-up rifle is the least of the hunter's worries.
00:41:37Oh, I hope they don't take our other gators, Mr. Bruce.
00:41:41Yeah, that's hard.
00:41:42We just gotta hurry up.
00:41:43We're in a rush now.
00:41:44We gotta head out and try to race to get to our other lines
00:41:46so we can get back to these gators.
00:41:48It's really frustrating.
00:41:50What if somebody takes our gators?
00:41:51Hold on, Anna.
00:41:54I hope those gators are there.
00:41:57Me too.
00:41:58We gotta go fast.
00:42:13Back in Cane Ridge Slough, after finishing their first set of lines, Ronnie and Timmy raced back for the forgotten
00:42:22burlap before the gators spoil in the blazing sun.
00:42:28Oh, yeah, just in time, before these alligators start slipping.
00:42:33Boy, I tell you what, I feel like we just got it by the skin of our teeth.
00:42:37Another 10, 15 minutes, these gators would've spalled in that hot sun.
00:42:41Let's roll.
00:42:43But now we gotta get dunked.
00:42:46I mean, it is cooking hot, and we still got a ton of lines to run.
00:42:52Got one on the left.
00:42:55I think we got something here, Poppa.
00:42:59I've seen a glance of him, I just couldn't tell how big.
00:43:03Look how muddy the water is.
00:43:05Yep.
00:43:11See it?
00:43:13Oh, no, T.
00:43:17T, I feel like he's got some sauce to him, bruh.

00:43:22Ooh, that's a giant, bruh.
00:43:25That is a giant, T.

00:43:48He's gonna pop the line.
00:43:53Oh, T, T.
00:43:54He's about to get off.
00:43:56Tell me, T, before we lose this one, bro.
00:43:59Get him, T, get him, T.
00:44:00Let me see.
00:44:09That a baby.
00:44:10Woo!

00:44:12If I'm about to get this dude in the boat, bruh,
00:44:15this is another giant, son.
00:44:18Oh, my gosh.
00:44:22Two, three.
00:44:24All right.
00:44:25I'm good.
00:44:26Come on with him, baby.
00:44:27We got him, now.
00:44:27that's it we got him now the hunters land another heat wave trophy gator but their success has taken
00:44:35a toll take your time let's take a break we got so many alligators in this boat i need to
00:44:42sit for
00:44:43a minute i got to get some juice in me i was worried you know fighting a big gator that
00:44:49big
00:44:49because ronnie will start getting uh overheated it's very hot it feels like it's just burning
00:44:59molten lava on you but uh there's no er out in the swamp you know you just gotta manage yourself
00:45:08so kind of like the pressure on to really get it done immediately i'm wow
00:45:28in bayou duchien daniel and zach have been loading the boat with bulls using the rod and reel
00:45:35but the hunters still need to run 10 lines and not everyone's happy about that
00:45:41wasting our time with these lines catching things worth two monsters right there
00:45:49there's two another one look another one in the woods zach and i are doing really good with the
00:45:56rod and reel and trouble hook but every time we look up at the sun of the time we know
00:46:01that we
00:46:01still got lines to run so we're gonna have to shut this fishing down get these lines run and get
00:46:07to
00:46:13more
00:46:14attack attack attack oh that's a solid one come on looks like a bobber

00:47:32nine more
00:47:33lines daniel sees a new problem coming you're running against the clock you're not looking forward to

00:48:38even though it's so hot today we have to run every line we can't leave a line out there
00:48:43because if you skip one you can bet that's going to be the biggest alligator of the day it's going
00:48:49to be on the line you skip and it ain't gonna be good when you come back tomorrow
00:49:03i don't really see much action right here

00:54:03daddy and zach have finished running their lives and have just enough time to try to hook one more
00:54:08giant before heading in with their catch
00:54:15hey what made all those waves
00:54:20something just made all those waves coming this way we got a couple of good alligators on the line
00:54:28but we still have a little bit of time these extra efforts that's where the success is so
00:54:35let's take an opportunity to try to get one more on the rod and reel we have time
00:54:54to do with that on its own felt like something in the propeller what or we just lost the engine
00:55:01unfortunately it turns out time isn't on their side you don't see nothing in the propeller oh well it's
00:55:08the engine then lord have mercy let me see if it'll start
00:55:18oh no she's locked up what
00:55:24oh no that's the valves in the engine just lost the engine engine's out
00:55:30there ain't no way to fix that that's really bad really bad zach well we're so far from the landing
00:55:37i don't know if it's the heat that killed the engine or just the stress from all these
00:55:40gators in the boat but if we don't get home soon all these gears are going to spoil i mean
00:55:45we can
00:55:45burlap them and wet them as much as we want but it won't save them from this heat
00:55:49hot we've got to cover these alligators looks like we're not getting back before 12 after all oh no damn
00:55:59after more than an hour the hunters finally spot a boat
00:56:05help

00:56:16i've been glad to see you huh the heat killed our engine man
00:56:21well it's always simpler thank god for other fishermen we would have spoiled these gators
00:56:26wasted our time all day wasted our sweat and our energy with nothing to show for it so we made
00:56:32it back in time thanks to the coat of the swamp it's hot as hell right now hell yeah
00:56:38and it's worse when you break down on the hottest day of the year
00:56:42so thank god we're getting out of the sun at least

00:58:37What you doing here, papa?
00:58:47Break that, T.
00:58:49T, where I went in my eye.
00:58:51Oh, let me see.
00:58:55Something went in the corner of my eye, bro.
00:58:57You see anything in there?
00:58:58No.
00:58:59Might be bone fragment.
00:59:00It's bone fragment for sure.
00:59:02No blood, huh, T?
00:59:03No, uh-uh.
00:59:04But it got me in my eye good.
00:59:07A long, stressful day ends with a close call,
00:59:10and the hunters are lucky it wasn't worse.
00:59:14The gator was thrashing around a lot,
00:59:16and when I shot, I ended up hitting him in the skull,
00:59:20and a piece of bone fragment went around his eye.
00:59:23Ah!
00:59:25Come on, let's get him in the boat.
00:59:26His eye was scratched, obviously,
00:59:28but thankfully, it kind of started feeling a little better,
00:59:32a little bit of relief.
00:59:33I feel like you might have come out,
00:59:34because when I'm blank now, I don't feel it.
00:59:36Man, I was really worried, you know,
00:59:38he could have lost an eye right there.
00:59:40Boy, today's been a rough day on me, huh, bro?
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:43You good?
00:59:44Oh, yeah, you all right?
00:59:45I'm good, yeah, I'm good, baby.
00:59:46Let's rock.
00:59:56Over in Bayou Coulee,
00:59:59after a brutal day in the sun,
01:00:01Bruce and Anna are almost finished running their lines,
01:00:04and they're eager to make sure the gators they hid
01:00:07haven't been stolen.
01:00:10All right, Anna, get that one more line to run.
01:00:13We'll go back and get the gators.
01:00:14I hope they're still there.
01:00:16That's what worries me.
01:00:17Then we're going to go run the last line of the day,
01:00:19come back and pick these gators up.
01:00:20They're in the water.
01:00:21You can't see them at all.
01:00:22It's in a spot we can get to it.
01:00:24We remember and mark it where it's at.
01:00:25I'm just praying the line is still there.
01:00:30Hey.
01:00:33It's out there.
01:00:36It's under the tree.
01:00:46We might have something.
01:00:48Be careful now.
01:00:49Where you at?
01:00:52Hello.
01:00:54There we go.
01:00:56Mr. Lewis, hurry up.
01:00:57Get the gun.
01:00:58Hold on.
01:00:58We're coming.
01:01:00Swimming.
01:01:04Get him up.
01:01:05Get him up.
01:01:06Get ready, Mr. Bruce.
01:01:07Get ready.
01:01:08He's almost there.
01:01:09Wow.
01:01:11Watch out.
01:01:15There he is.
01:01:17Get him, Mr. Bruce.
01:01:27Hey.
01:01:28Don't worry about that one.
01:01:29Nice shot.
01:01:30He coming.
01:01:31He going home with her.
01:01:33This nine-footer marks the end of a successful day,
01:01:36as long as the rest of their catch is still where they left it.
01:01:40This is a great day, but it's also like, whoa, we're in a rush now.
01:01:45We got to get back to our spot where we put those gators in the water.
01:01:48Where we put them at?
01:01:49About that saw red, huh?
01:01:50Look, by that cypress.
01:01:52They should be right there.
01:01:55Where's the line at?
01:01:56You see it?
01:01:58Uh, get up there and check it.
01:02:01All right.
01:02:06It's here.
01:02:08Oh.
01:02:09Good.
01:02:10I'm tight.
01:02:11I see the line tied to the tree.
01:02:14Instant relief.
01:02:15We throw them in the boat as quick as we can, and we race back to St. Mary's.
01:02:20Nice and cool.
01:02:21You're right.
01:02:22We got to go here and name's fall.
01:02:24We got a full boatload.
01:02:25It was a really great day for me and Mr. Bruce.
01:02:27He always has a plan when something goes wrong.
01:02:30He doesn't worry.
01:02:31He's just like, Anna, we're going to do this, and we're going to be okay.
01:02:34I told you it would work.
01:02:35All right.
01:02:37Hold on.
01:02:38Let's get back.
01:02:52Back in Pierre Park.
01:02:54Ronnie, come here.
01:02:55Get your ass over here.
01:02:56Quit being mean.
01:02:58While Troy helps hunters offload at Duffy's,
01:03:03Pickle marks the end of the heat wave
01:03:05by spending time with the people she loves most.
01:03:09Do you know where I was today?
01:03:11Where was my mom?
01:03:12I was fishing.
01:03:14Leaving one baby at home was hard enough,
01:03:16and here I am leaving two babies at home.
01:03:19I think that was my biggest challenge coming into the season.
01:03:22So how was it?
01:03:24Long.
01:03:25Long and hot.
01:03:26Long and hot and dealing with him all day.
01:03:28You know how that is.
01:03:30I couldn't be on that boat.
01:03:32Not with Troy.
01:03:32My mom.
01:03:33She's an angel.
01:03:34You know, if it wasn't for her,
01:03:36I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing right now.
01:03:38This season's been a rock, Mom.
01:03:40You are the rock that's holding it all together, though.
01:03:44You can make me care of her.
01:03:45No, don't cry.
01:03:47I'm just lucky to have somebody to watch them.
01:03:50It's still hard to leave my babies behind,
01:03:52but I want them to grow up and say,
01:03:55my mom kept going.
01:03:57Like, just keep being Superwoman,
01:03:59at least in their eyes, you know?
01:04:00I'm so proud of myself for showing them
01:04:03that you can keep going and keep pushing fully.
