00:22Run these back roads out of your life
00:25All the pain through the struggle and the strife
00:28Now there's just one thing you got left to do
00:31Light a mass, let it burn and break on two
00:39Like a wild horse morning, you're out of control
00:45Like a loaded pistol, like a raging storm
00:48You got thunder in your veins
00:51You won't stop till your dying day
01:07As daylight breaks in southern Louisiana
01:14Can the swamp Troy Landry and his deckhand pick a wheat
01:18Need a successful day if they hope to tag out tomorrow
01:23Look right there, look at that corner
01:26They got it wore out where they're climbing up and down
01:29The Landrys have over a hundred tags left to fill for the season
01:33So Troy's hung lines in one of his tried and true hot spots
01:38Lake Fossey Point is a beautiful state park
01:41And I've been there quite a few times
01:45It's big, there's a lot of bayous and waterways
01:49It's a beautiful park and they got a lot of alligators in it
01:59What do we got, P?
02:01Oh my God
02:04Uh-oh, look at that
02:06The whole branch is broken
02:10Pop
02:12I can't believe he broke that big old branch
02:15Look at the size of that branch
02:17There's no way he should have broke that
02:19No
02:20Wow
02:21No, he shouldn't have broke that
02:23That's a big old alligator, dude
02:25Probably would have been the biggest gator of the year right there
02:29That's a lucky alligator right there
02:31He got away
02:32Lucky
02:33Lucky ain't the word
02:35With an escape this dramatic in this bayou
02:38Troy thinks he knows the culprit
02:41There's a big alligator we've been after
02:43Really and truly for a couple of years
02:45Every year during gator season
02:47When I go to that area
02:49I see him and we never catch him
02:52Wow
02:52We call him lucky
02:54Because he's been lucky
02:55For the last three or four years
02:57He's been dodging the chicken
02:58This is very personal now
03:00We have to get him and get him out of here
03:04Lucky for him and unlucky for us
03:07Want to reset?
03:09Oh, we're not going to reset right here
03:10But we're going to put two or three close
03:12Yeah
03:13I wonder if he's on the bank right here
03:14We're going to look good
03:15We're going to go real slow and look real good
03:17Let's roll
03:19Let's get it done
03:38Over in Pierre Park
03:39Jacob Landry and his deckhand
03:42Little Willie Edwards
03:43Are off to a painfully slow start
03:45On their lines
03:46And little Willie's eager to mix it up
03:50Jacob, I think we ought to start
03:52Trying to catch a lot more alligators
03:54With the trouble hook
03:56I don't know
03:57The big ones are slick
03:58They don't let you get too close
03:59You know that
04:01Knowing they can't come up empty
04:03On the second to last day of the season
04:05With their lines failing
04:07The pair shift their focus
04:09To open water hunting
04:10But the best method
04:12Is up for debate
04:14Trouble hooking is fun
04:16It's exciting
04:17It's probably one of the funnest things
04:18To do in an alligator boat
04:19But at the same time
04:20It's not my thing
04:21I just feel that
04:22With the big gun
04:23I'm at a much better advantage
04:25Of putting big alligators in the boat
04:26Than with a trouble hook
04:28Yeah, I think it's time
04:29For a little competition then
04:31I'm all for it if you are
04:33We're going to see exactly
04:34What's the best method
04:35Whether it's big rifle
04:36Or a trouble hook
04:38And Willie feels like
04:39He's on top of the world
04:40With a trouble hook
04:41So we decide to
04:42You know, have a little
04:43Friendly wager in the boat
04:44And go ahead
04:45And have a competition
04:46About who can put
04:47The biggest alligators
04:48And the most alligators
04:50In the boat
04:50Using just the big gun
04:52And the trouble hook
04:58I don't know what it is
05:00They got a pile of bubbles
05:01Coming up over there
05:10That's an alligator
05:10Because it's still bubbling
05:20Right on top of him
05:25There you go
05:27Feel good?
05:32I'm coming, Willie
05:33I'm coming
05:35Dean!
05:36Big ol' gator
05:37Don't get that wrapped up
05:39On your gunaids
05:40What?
05:42Oh, yeah
05:43That's a big one, Willie
05:46That's a good one
05:47There, Willie
05:49Come on, Willie
05:51Give me a shot
05:54Oh, big net
05:59Hold him, Willie
06:00Hold him, Willie
06:02Shoot him
06:10Hey!
06:12I love it
06:14All right, Willie
06:15One, Jacob zero
06:17You're in the lead
06:19In the frickin' foot
06:20No wonder he was pissed
06:21He messed up his manicure
06:26One, two, three
06:30Got a ball, Willie
06:33Hell yeah
06:38Yeah
06:39Good gator
06:40Oh, yeah
06:42This massive beast
06:44Puts little Willie ahead
06:45And Jacob knows
06:47He has to bring his A-game
06:48Against the young treble hooker
06:50I can tell that it's a good 11
06:52At least 11
06:53Maybe even mid-11s
06:54For the alligator
06:55And I know dang well
06:57That it's gonna take
06:58A hell of an alligator
06:59To be bigger than this one
07:00He's up one to nothing on me
07:02Yeah, that's a tank
07:03That treble hook ain't no joke
07:06Nope
07:07I'm gonna have my work
07:07Cut out for me now
07:09That one's gonna be hard to beat
07:12Hopefully we get another one
07:13Just like him
07:26Over in catarach country
07:29Let's roll, Teddy
07:30Before it get too hot
07:33Joey Edgar and his daughter, Callie
07:36Have only a dozen tags left to fill
07:38And Joey's determined to finish today
07:41One day early
07:42Saving hundreds of dollars
07:44In bait, gas, and supplies
07:47How many we got, Dad?
07:49We got 12 tags left
07:50It ain't gonna be easy
07:51Let's lean on these things
07:53I told Callie
07:54We not gonna finish this season
07:55With any tags unfilled
07:57But whenever I set a goal for myself
07:59I don't like to talk about it
08:01I just keep my head down
08:02Keep my fingers crossed
08:04And hopefully we'll get the job done
08:08To ensure the Gators are biting today
08:11Joey's gambling on a radical new bait
08:13He bets will be familiar
08:15To Gators in the area
08:17Cut on the big part of the tree
08:19By the boat
08:24Oh
08:24Yeah, what is this?
08:26That's beef lung
08:27Beef lung?
08:29Yeah
08:29Lung
08:30Off a cow
08:32Where you got that from?
08:34The butcher asked me
08:35If I wanted to try something
08:36That's why I got it
08:37These alligators know how to eat beef
08:39Yeah
08:40It ain't gonna have much smell
08:42It's just more of a color thing
08:44It's not real bloody
08:46But alligators, anything white
08:48Real bright colors
08:49They're attracted to it
08:51Let's hope it works
08:52Yeah
08:53These alligators in this area
08:55Know what beef is
08:56Because the ranchers in this area
08:58When a cow dies
08:59They dump it overboard
09:00They dump it in the bayou
09:01And these alligators have learned
09:03To eat beef or rotting beef
09:05So this might be something
09:07Right up the alley
09:08And that they're accustomed to
09:09They might be
09:09It might be the go-to bait feed
09:12That's a big piece, dad
09:13It sounds like sponge
09:15When you put it in there
09:16That's what it feel like
09:17Let me cut some more
09:19That's a layer of two beef
09:20Joey will hang 30 lines
09:21With this new bait
09:23Hoping that's plenty
09:24To allow him to tag out
09:34Well, that's one way
09:36Of utilizing everything, baby
09:38Yeah
09:39Not wasting anything
09:40Not wasting nothing
09:59Over in Charenton Landing
10:01Like his son Joey
10:03Mr. Daniel and Zach
10:04Are within striking distance
10:06Of tagging out a day early
10:08It's been a good season
10:10Crazy
10:11But we still got tags to fill
10:13But we don't have that many
10:14I think we finished today
10:16Feels so good to have a great season
10:18But we gotta fill these tags
10:20There's no way about it
10:21So I'm feeling good
10:22But five gators
10:23There's still five gators
10:24We gotta find
10:25You don't have that many lines out
10:27That's right
10:27That's right
10:29I'll tell you what
10:30It's a hard spot to fish
10:32If we don't catch them on the lines
10:33We're gonna have to really depend
10:34On that rod and reel in trouble
10:35That's right
10:36Yes, sir
10:40Flying down
10:51We got one, you think?
10:53Yeah
10:53I hope he's good
10:56I hope he's good
10:56He was on this side
11:02Is he coming?
11:04Is he coming?
11:05He's coming
11:05I got him
11:07There you go
11:08Pull him, Zach
11:20Whoa
11:20Whoa
11:21Come on
11:22Bring him to me, Zach
11:23Turn his head
11:24God, this guy is strong
11:25Holy cow
11:28That was my shot
11:30On the second to last day of gator season
11:36Daniel and Zach
11:37Daniel and Zach are wheeling in a vicious fighter
11:40Whoa
11:41Don't get bit
11:42Watch out
11:44Why this thing's so strong?
11:52He's facing me
11:53Turn his head
11:53Shoot him, shoot him, shoot him
12:02Got him
12:03Oh, yeah
12:08Want to help?
12:09Probably
12:10Come here, big boy
12:17Not too bad
12:18I don't mind taking him like that
12:20This 10-footer is a solid start for the hunters
12:25With four tags left to fill and 15 lines left to run
12:28They still have a lot of work left to do in order to tag out a day early
12:34It feels so good to have one in the boat
12:36And that's a great start today
12:38But we have to tag out
12:39Daniel wants to fill these two days
12:41The last day
12:43For Daniel and I to hunt
12:45That's solid
12:52Over in Bayou Gray
12:54Gee, baby, last day
12:58Let's get it over with, Papa
13:00Ronnie Adams and his deckhand, Timmy O'Quant
13:03Have a dozen tags left to fill
13:05Putting their tag out within reach
13:08Let's make it all count
13:10All bigs, daddy-o
13:12Yeah, the season's fun
13:13But I'm ready for it to be over
13:15Me too, bro
13:16It's been a long year
13:17To ensure they finish today
13:19Ronnie saved his favorite honey hole for last
13:21An ace in the hole
13:23Known as Salvation Bayou
13:27Waking up this morning
13:28I was like a kid at Christmas
13:30Because every year
13:31Alligator season
13:32It just seems like it brings
13:33More and more challenges on
13:34And this was the toughest season ever
13:37We have never had a season like this before
13:39So right now
13:41I'm pumped up
13:41And I cannot wait to run
13:43The rest of these lines
13:44To see what the outcome is at the end
13:46I don't see the line, T, you?
13:48No
13:51Nothing?
13:52Oh, it's on the bank
13:53It's where?
13:54It's on the bank full of hands
13:58Damn T, bro
14:00That ain't good, baby
14:01Yeah
14:02You see the hook there?
14:04The ants uncovered the bait
14:05You can't see the bait
14:08Yep
14:09If there's that many ants on it
14:11The alligator will never even see
14:12Or even smell that one
14:14No gator on this son of a gun
14:16Look at the ants that was on that thing
14:20Sucks this first line
14:21Ain't got nothing on it
14:22Yeah
14:23This is not the start
14:24The hunters envisioned
14:25In Salvation Bayou
14:27On what they hope
14:28Will be their final day of the season
14:30Let's get the hell out of Dodge
14:33I'm kind of nervous right now
14:34We got a bunch of lines out
14:36Happy that it's coming to an end
14:38Because it's been such a great year
14:39But I just hope and pray
14:41Long as it pays off in the long run
14:42I can deal with the anxiety
14:45That right now, you know
14:46The little nervousness
14:47I can deal with that
14:48Not a good way to start out
14:50Our last day
14:51Not a chance, bro
15:01Back in Pierre Park
15:03In the contest between
15:05Sniper Rifle and Treble
15:07Jacob leads Little Willie
15:09By a score of 6 to 5
15:12Look at that big one
15:13Coming out down there
15:15The pressure's back on me
15:17Now I'm up again
15:19To get it done with the Treble Hook
15:21And all and find another alligator
15:22I'm up on the chop block
15:24So we're going to see
15:25If I can get it done
15:27Do your thing, Willie Wayne
15:36Him?
15:36Yeah, that's him
15:39I got him
15:42There we go, Bob, Bob!
15:45There we go, Bob!
15:51Oh-wee!
15:51Oh-wee!
16:02Hey, Pop!
16:04Yeah, he broke it
16:07Damn!
16:08That was a big gator
16:11Man, he broke my rope
16:12Damn it, Willie
16:15Missing this giant alligator
16:17Is a huge blow to little Willie
16:20He knows that he'll need
16:21To treble hook a giant
16:22To catch up to Jacob
16:24And prove his worth
16:25In a landry boat
16:27Big opportunity for me
16:29And it's rough
16:31I mean, you get your time to shine
16:34You mess it up
16:35And it kind of bums you out
16:37I mean, it's kind of embarrassing
16:38You wait all this time
16:40And you miss it
16:41So I got to redeem myself
16:43I'm kind of in the hole right now
16:45I got to go ahead
16:46And climb out of that hole
16:48You don't think it's still right there, huh?
16:51No, that gator
16:52Long gone, Pop!
16:54It went out there somewhere
16:54It'll been a good one
16:56Eyes to the power, buddy
17:07Back in Salvation Bayou
17:10Ronnie and Timmy are anxious
17:11To close out their season
17:13But Ronnie's trusted honey hole
17:15Hasn't given them what he hoped
17:19Eight more tags, baby
17:20Let's do it
17:21We got eight tags left
17:23I know that seems like
17:25Not that many
17:26But we done fished this area a bunch
17:28We got a bunch of lines out there
17:29But eight tags is like an eternity
17:32And hopefully it pays off, baby
17:35Come on, T
17:35We need our luck to change, bro
17:37Yeah
17:38We need to reach out to the gator gods
17:40To help us out
17:41Eight more gators
17:42Let's make it happen
17:45It's down
17:46Oh, bro
17:48Look how tight it is
17:53Come on, baby
17:54Be something
17:57Heavy?
17:59No
18:00We got something here, Popper
18:05Cool, T
18:06Yeah
18:07Yeah
18:08Come on, T
18:09That's a good one here, baby
18:10Cool, cool, baby
18:11We got him in the tongue
18:12Got him in the tongue, baby
18:17Come on, T
18:18Oh, let's go with that, baby
18:20Who's barely hooked, T
18:22Come on, T
18:22Come on, T
18:23He's gonna get off
18:24Uh-oh
18:24Yeah
18:27In salvation value
18:29Cool, T
18:30Ronnie and Timmy are struggling to hold on to their fifth catch today
18:35Who's barely hooked, T
18:36Uh-oh
18:37Yeah
18:39Eight tags left
18:40Let's make it count
18:43All right, right here, T
18:44Right here, T
18:47Get the shot
18:57What a relief
18:59I felt like we on number eight
19:01Ordain eternity
19:03Got him now
19:07Get over there
19:10Seven more after this, T
19:12Seven more
19:13With seven gators left to tag out
19:16Ronnie knows the battle's not over just yet
19:19It's been an up and down day
19:21We all catching a few nice gators
19:23I got this special freak out mode inside of me right now
19:27I feel in the end and I'm pumped
19:29I'm excited
19:29Even Timmy's pumped
19:30Seven more to go
19:33We gonna get up and roll, T
19:35Come on, baby
19:36Let's get out this bad area
19:47Back in cattle country
19:49With five tags remaining
19:51Joey and Callie are within reach of tagging out a day early
19:55Thanks to their new bait
19:57Actually, you're biting better today than yesterday
20:04Lines down
20:09Let's see if we got one
20:10I'm pretty sure we do
20:14Okay, daddy
20:14Let's see
20:17All right, watch that game
20:22Ready?
20:23Yeah
20:25Let's see what we got, daddy
20:30Whoa
20:32Oh
20:34Give me a shot
21:03I don't care if it's in the white
21:05Fight me
21:06I will, hold on
21:09Hold him, dad, hold him
21:17Good shot
21:19Good shot
21:24All right
21:28That's what we need
21:29Paul said he wants to fill all our tags
21:30So we go fill them all
21:31I wonder what him and Zach doing
21:41Back in Lake Fossie Point
21:43Troy and Pickle returned to the lines they baited with Shad
21:48Determined to reel in their nemesis once and for all
21:52Every year you leave a big alligator you take a chance that somebody's gonna poach him
21:57He's gonna die from a something
22:00Same thing with a deer
22:01Same thing with a big buck
22:04Now we're going after Lucky
22:06He's gonna bite eventually
22:07He's gotta smell this fish
22:09I know we're gonna catch him
22:10He's right here
22:10There's no way about it
22:12We gotta get him
22:13We just gotta keep trying
22:15Looks tight, huh?
22:16It's tight
22:16Yes, it does
22:17This could be him
22:20Oh, to the left
22:21To the left
22:22To the left
22:29Oh, no
22:31What, baby?
22:32Hot
22:34No
22:35Look
22:36He couldn't resist that fish
22:38That's an 1,100-pound test line
22:41And he popped it
22:41It's a lucky sucker
22:43One of these days
22:44This luck's gonna run out
22:46And they're gonna change his name from lucky to unlucky
22:50This was lucky
22:51We caught him
22:52He couldn't resist that Shad
22:54But there was either a log under the water
22:57Or a stump or something
22:58That he stretched that line so hard
23:01And popped it
23:01And got away
23:02So he was lucky again
23:04Lucky got lucky again
23:05But
23:06That tells me something
23:08He took the Shad
23:09So I know we have a good chance of catching this gator
23:13You hear what I'm telling you, Pee-wee?
23:15Oh, I hear you
23:15I hear you
23:16You don't piss me off now
23:17You hear the number
23:25Over in Charrington Landing
23:28There's nothing on it
23:29Damn
23:32Mr. Daniel and Zach have five lines left
23:35And they need two more beasts to tag out a day early
23:39Our day started really good
23:41But these last couple lines didn't do anything
23:43Every day it's a new challenge in this world
23:47Adaptive weather
23:49Fate is like gambling
23:52You don't win all the time
23:54You don't win all the time
23:55They win sometimes
23:56Looks like we got one, Zach
24:07Oh, that's a big one
24:10Oh, my God
24:12Oh, he might break off
24:13We'll cut the string on the tree
24:15You need to tie it to the boot
24:17And get him out in the canal
24:18Because if we fight him right there
24:20He'll probably break it
24:21Quick, Zach
24:21Quick, quick, quick, quick
24:23That's him dragging us
24:24Oh, my God
24:26You got a gun?
24:27Oh, yeah, buddy
24:31Oh, my God
24:32Watch him, Zach
24:33Oh, he's huge
24:36He's definitely
24:37Come on, Zach
24:37Come on, Zach
24:38Come on
24:39Huge, dude
24:41Oh, shoot him
24:43Shoot him
24:45You got a shoot him, Buck
24:50In Charmton Landing
24:52Oh, my God
24:53Daniel and Zach are battling a behemoth in the water
24:57Watch him, Zach
24:58Oh, he's huge
25:02He's definitely
25:02Hold on, Zach
25:03Hold on, Zach
25:03I got him
25:04I got him
25:04But he's huge, dude
25:06You're on
25:07Oh, my God
25:09Look at his back
25:09Whoa, don't let him break the rope
25:13His head's right there
25:14Shoot him
25:14Shoot him
25:15Quick, I'm running out of line
25:19You got him
25:19Shoot him, Buck
25:21You're on
25:22Tell him to stay still
25:28Shoot him now
25:29Shoot him
25:29Shoot him
25:36Oh, my God
25:38It started raining
25:40That is a monster
25:43Look at the mouth on that thing
25:44I could bring this gator to the other side of the boat
25:47And we'll just leave the winch over there, all right
25:49Yep
25:50I can drag him right over there
25:52Well, let me just hook him first
25:53Okay
25:56All right
25:57Over here, Zach
25:58Oh, my big boy
26:04Oh, that's a monster
26:06Yes, sir
26:08Nice alligator
26:09Some of these old alligators
26:11They have adjusted themselves to all our chicken and lions
26:15And they've seen it all
26:16But that lung
26:17It just
26:18When he saw that
26:19He stopped thinking about everything that he learned
26:23His head's all the way on the other side of the boat
26:25And this boat's eight feet wide
26:27Yeah, that's
26:27That's probably 11
26:28That's a big boy
26:29This giant is a great catch for the hunters
26:32But they still have one tag left to fill
26:35And no lines left to run
26:37We finished running the lines
26:38But we still need one more alligator to tag out
26:41So, I know it's time to break out that rod reel
26:44It's time to go hunting
26:45Let me go check a good spot
26:48We might get him with the rod reel trouble hook
26:50Talking about the open leg?
26:52Yep, yep
26:52It's gonna be tough
26:54But it's the last tag
26:55And if we get a goal
26:57Let's go out big
26:58We'll get a big one
26:59We'll give it a shot, Bob
27:00Let's go give it a shot
27:02Right now, daylight
27:02Let's go
27:10Back in Pierre Park
27:12Jacob holds a narrow lead
27:14With eight snobbed gators
27:17Is that one with his head up over there, Mr. Jacob?
27:21Oh, yeah, baby
27:23Little Willie needs one more
27:25To tie this treble versus rifle showdown
27:28Me and Jacob got a little competition going on
27:31Of treble hooking, sniping and all
27:33Right now, I'm a little iffy about it and all
27:36I got big standards to meet, you know
27:38So, we're gonna see if I can get it done
27:45Right on top of him
27:52Feel good?
27:53Yeah
27:54Ooh, yeah
27:54Ooh, yeah
27:59I don't know it, Donkey Po-Po
28:07Come on, Willie
28:07Come on, Willie
28:10Damn, Willie
28:13Hold him, Willie
28:14Hold him, Willie
28:24Hell to the yeah
28:27Good job, Willie
28:30One, two, three
28:32One, two, three
28:38All right, Willie, we tie it up
28:41This 11-foot monster evens the score with eight gators apiece
28:45That's it, my boy, that's it
28:47Good job, Jacob
28:49Yes, indeed
29:00Back in cattle country
29:02Joey and Callie need to fill one more tag to finish their season early
29:07One left, Teddy
29:10Look, Teddy
29:10Yeah
29:11That beef lung
29:13The young ones are hitting it as soon as you hang it
29:16Right
29:16Look at him on the line
29:18He's just holding on to the lung
29:19He's not, he didn't swallow the hook yet
29:22That beef lung is working
29:23I feel that the gods are shining light on it
29:27They like that lung
29:29I'm telling you
29:30I'm telling you that beef lung is getting them
29:31And I'm excited to run the rest of the lung
29:47Look, Teddy
29:48They like that lung
29:53Watch yourself
29:59Look, look, look
30:06That's a good one
30:11Biting a bolt
30:12I know
30:14Teddy, whenever you can get a shot
30:20Whoa
30:23Give me a shot
30:25You got the rock
30:27Whoa
30:33In cattle country
30:35Oh my gosh
30:37Joey and Callie are trying to bag their final gator of the season
30:42Whoa
30:46That's a good one
30:48Give me a shot, Daddy
30:49Give me a shot
30:50I'm trying to
30:53You got to rock it
31:10That's a good one, Daddy
31:12Good job
31:13Let's put him on the tip
31:16Watch your leg
31:17All right
31:19This 12-foot monster ends the season on a high note
31:22And Joey's grateful to add a new bait to his arsenal
31:26Our time this year was special
31:28We had fun
31:30We killed some alligators
31:32This beef lung
31:33I've never used it before
31:35But just like all fishermen
31:36You're never too old to learn
31:38We fill the boat up
31:39That's what we're here to do
31:41Kill alligators and load boats
31:44Now we got him, Dad
31:56Back in Salvation Bayou
31:58Come on, Big Gator
32:00Despite having one of their hardest days of the year
32:03Ronnie and Timmy are one gator away from tagging out
32:07Well, it's nicer to be able to tag out if we got one
32:10Yeah, bro
32:12Let's tag it and stag it, baby
32:14Please
32:14You know, coming up on this last line
32:16One tag left
32:18I am nervous
32:19I'm sweating bullets right now
32:21But that's just part of gator hunting
32:23It's what it's all about
32:25I want to finish with a bang
32:30We ain't got much light left
32:32A couple hours
32:33Yeah
32:33Well, I'd like to get the hell out of Dodge, bro
32:36Look, he's on bank
32:39Dude, we're about to tag out on a giant, son
32:42Heck, yeah
32:44Ooh, T, look at the size of this dude, bro
32:47I know
32:48I think I ought to shoot him before he take off
32:50Yeah, he might rip the hook out of his mouth
32:53Let's just creep up to him slow, slow, slow, all right?
32:57Come straight in like you are
32:58Cool, T, try to shoot him in the ear, huh?
33:02Yeah
33:09He shot over
33:11No sights on this thing, bro
33:14Shoot him one more time, T
33:17Ooh, T
33:23Ooh, whoops at the size of him, T
33:27Ooh, whoops at the size of him
33:28This mother freak is a giant, T
33:30Yeah, that is a giant
33:35Go ahead, get it over with, T
33:47That a baby
33:49Tagged out, baby
33:50Last one
33:51What a season
33:52We had knocked him out, bro
33:55One, two, three
33:56All right, T
33:58Cool, look at this giant, bro
34:00This 11-foot giant is exactly what Ronnie and Timmy needed to end their season
34:06One left, daddy-o
34:08And I'm gonna give you the honors, bro
34:11Last day of hunting
34:12Monster gator on the line
34:14Probably one of the biggest all year
34:16It's just a great ending to a great season
34:19I cannot wait to hear the click-click
34:21Click-click
34:22We have never had a season like this before
34:26We are finished
34:33Back in Charmton Landing
34:36Daniel and Zach have one tag left to fill for the year
34:40But with no lines left
34:42Their fate depends on open water hunting
34:45One more
34:46We're done working our way through the lines
34:48But we need one more alligator to tag out
34:51Luckily, I brought my rod and reel
34:53So let's throw one more in the boat
35:00Look, look, look
35:01Oh, my goodness
35:03That's a good one
35:05A little bit more, a little bit more
35:08All right, good
35:09That's how a tag go
35:12That's it
35:12That's it
35:13Oh, I can't reach, dude
35:15Dead
35:16Oh, my God
35:17Oh, he's going down
35:18You might be able to get him on the move
35:20Okay
35:26Go get him
35:27That might be right on top of him
35:28He's still there, huh?
35:29Yeah, yeah
35:32I got him
35:33Yeah, way to go
35:35You got him, D, let's go
35:39Let's go
35:39Tighten the track a little bit
35:40Don't give him anything
35:44Tickets, Zach
35:45Okay, hold on
35:45We don't want to lose him
35:47Yeah, we don't want to lose him
35:48Because if he turns, comes back on me
35:49Yeah, yeah, yeah
35:50Okay, just
35:51All right, he stopped
35:55Oh, my God
35:56This feels like a marlin, dude
35:57You're going to have to turn just like you were doing
35:59Hard
36:00Hard
36:00He's in trouble and he knows it, Zach
36:03Okay, D, go ahead
36:03I'm telling you
36:08I'm fixing to let you look at him
36:10That's going to do it
36:10That's going to do it
36:10I'm fixing to let you look at him, Zach
36:11You better look at him, Zach
36:13You better look at him, Zach
36:13Yeah
36:15Oh, my
36:16Zach, get the big gun
36:19No
36:19Hold on, hold on
36:22Oh
36:23Oh
36:27On the second-to-last day of gator season
36:30Hold on
36:32Daniel and Zach are fighting to tag out with a monster
36:35You want to look at him?
36:36There he is
36:37You want to look at him?
36:39There he is
36:43You got him, where's his head?
36:45Hold on
36:46I'm coming up with him
36:47One more tag, baby
36:49Come on
36:52Oh
37:00That one
37:02He's every bit of 12
37:04Close to 13
37:05Tag out
37:07If you got a tag out, tag out, baby
37:11Okay, get this over here
37:13All right
37:21Look how big around that monster
37:23Look at that, boy
37:23That's taller than us
37:26Yeah
37:27From one side of the boat
37:28All the way to the other side
37:30More than six feet straight up
37:32This 13-foot Leviathan
37:34Caps off a season full of monsters
37:37And they did it with a day to spare
37:39It's been a really good day for Zach and I
37:42We decided to go out in deep water
37:44And there's a bull
37:47But we also just finished early
37:49So we're smiling
37:50It's been a good day
37:52What a season
37:53Hey, I think that was my best one
37:56Yeah, with you, Daniel
37:58I love you
37:59I appreciate you
38:00Thank you, Zach
38:00Hey
38:01Thank you
38:01I had a wonderful time, buddy
38:03I wish I could be your blood grandson, brother
38:06Dream team
38:07I'm telling you
38:11Over in Lake Fossey Point
38:13Toy and Pickle are still running their shad lines
38:16Looking for Lucky
38:18You know he's right here somewhere
38:20He's dead in numbers
38:23Lucky's luck is gonna run out
38:25But despite the fact they haven't caught him yet
38:28Pickle remains confident in her captain
38:31He knows so much about how to lure an alligator out
38:36And especially like these old small ones
38:38So today I'm learning something new
38:40You know, like you can't always bait with chicken
38:43You gotta kind of break it up
38:44And they used to be smelling his chicken for a month now
38:47You know, and finally, boom
38:48We throw him a shad
38:49And he's gonna bite
38:54What you see, Peewee?
38:57Ooh
38:59Oh, look at him
39:00Up on the bank
39:02Oh, now I see him
39:03Now I see him
39:04Hurry up
39:05How's that going?
39:07This could be him
39:08He's big
39:10Yeah, you think this is him?
39:12He's really big
39:13It could be Lucky
39:20Woo
39:20Oh, whoa
39:22It's a big one
39:23Shoot him
39:27Shoot him
39:29Shoot him
39:39Whoa
39:41Good shot, dude
39:44He dead, Pee?
39:45He dead
39:46That's a big old alligator
39:51We're wrenching it
39:53Oh, yeah
39:53I don't have him move yet
39:54Don't move
39:57Okay, Peewee
40:00Well, Peewee
40:02Lucky's luck ran off
40:04He's been getting away from us for years and years
40:07The same alligator right here
40:09If we wouldn't have put fish
40:11I don't think we'd have caught him on chicken
40:12At over 12 feet long
40:15There's no doubt they finally caught their monster
40:18One, two, three
40:20Hold it
40:21Hold it, Pee
40:24Right there
40:25He was lucky
40:26Because he had took two or three pieces of shad
40:28And didn't get caught
40:29But Lucky's luck finally ran out
40:32He couldn't resist that shad
40:34And I'll always, till the day I die
40:37I'll believe that's why we caught him
40:39I don't think we'd ever caught him with chicken
40:42Lucky ain't lucky no more
40:44Lucky ain't lucky no more
40:52Over in Franklin
40:54Well, we had a decent alligator season
40:57We surely did
40:59The Edgar family enjoys a rare moment of peace
41:03To celebrate the end of another successful hunt
41:07It's times like this that make the hard work worth it
41:10You're right
41:11Spending time together
41:13It's priceless
41:14Because no one can touch it
41:17I just want the kids and the grandkids to understand
41:22That your strength is in your family
41:25That's where your power is
41:28When you all look out for each other
41:30If you stand alone
41:32The wind or anyone can knock you over
41:35But when you've got your family and all your support with you
41:38That tree's hard to knock over
41:42Paul, dad let me drive the airboat
41:44My goodness
41:46Good job, papa
41:49Yeah
41:49The only bad thing about driving the airboat is no reverse
41:52There's no reverse
41:54Yeah
41:54And you have to remember
41:56It operates different in deep water and shallow water
41:59Yeah
41:59Dad was saying
42:00If you're heavy, don't go down the middle
42:02Get by the bank a little bit
42:04And if you're wide open
42:06Don't stop too fast or the water will come over the back
42:09Yeah
42:11But I got pretty good at it
42:13You're doing real good
42:14This year, Callie and I
42:16This is our second year together
42:18Callie's progressed as an alligator hunter
42:20And she did all that she could do
42:22I feel that our time this year was special
42:25We had fun
42:27We killed some alligators
42:29And the future is so bright
42:30What a blessing
42:33Cody, daddy can't say it enough
42:34I'm so proud of you
42:36Who you are
42:37As a person
42:39And definitely a hunter
42:41Thanks, daddy
42:42I appreciate that
42:43Love you too
42:44I love you
42:46I love you
42:46Yeah
