00:00:00.
00:00:14Whoa, his head's right there, shoot him.
00:00:17Whoa, watch him.
00:00:18With over two days left in gator season, the pressure is on.
00:00:22Whoo!
00:00:23One family makes a bold push to tag out early.
00:00:27I'll tell you what, it's a hard spot to fish.
00:00:30Betting everything on an untested bait.
00:00:33Yeah, what is this?
00:00:34That's beef lung.
00:00:35This might be the bait to help us end the season early.
00:00:39Another team goes full throttle to finish off the year.
00:00:43Let's tag out today, T. We got a bunch of lines out,
00:00:46and I want to end out with a bang.
00:00:48Ooh, T! He popped the line.
00:00:50While the king of the swamp pushes his luck...
00:00:53Look at that.
00:00:54The whole branch is broken. Wow.
00:00:56There's a big alligator we've been after for a couple of years.
00:01:00See, we call him lucky.
00:01:01He don't piss me off.
00:01:02Nah, he's the other number.
00:01:03An epic high-stakes showdown ignites.
00:01:07We decide to go ahead and have a competition
00:01:09using just a big gun and a treble hook.
00:01:12That's a big one, will it?
00:01:13With the clock ticking, hunters have to cash out...
00:01:17You missed him, Tootie.
00:01:19...before it's too late.
00:01:20Oh, yeah, baby!
00:01:22Woo!
00:01:23There he is!
00:01:23Oh, my God!
00:01:24Who are leagues!?
00:01:31From these vegetables out of your life.
00:01:34All the pain through the struggle and the strife.
00:01:37Now there's just one thing you've got left to do.
00:01:40Light a mass, let it burn and break on through
00:01:48Like a wild horse running, you're out of control
00:01:54Like a loaded pistol, like a raging storm
00:01:58You got thunder in your veins
00:02:00You won't stop till your dying day comes your way
00:02:17As daylight breaks in southern Louisiana
00:02:24King of the Swamp Troy Landry and his deckhand Pickle Wheat
00:02:27Need a successful day if they hope to tag out tomorrow
00:02:33Look right there, look at that corner
00:02:34They got it wore out with it climbing up and down
00:02:38The Landrys have over 100 tags left to fill for the season
00:02:42So Troy's hung lines in one of his tried and true hot spots
00:02:47Lake Fossey Point is a beautiful state park
00:02:51And I've been there quite a few times
00:02:54It's big, there's a lot of bayous and waterways
00:02:58It's a beautiful park and you got a lot of alligators in it
00:03:08What do we got, B?
00:03:10Oh my God
00:03:14Uh-oh, look at that
00:03:16The whole branch is broken
00:03:19Pop
00:03:22I can't believe he broke that big old branch
00:03:25Look at the size of that branch
00:03:26There's no way he should have broke that
00:03:29No
00:03:29Wow
00:03:30No, he shouldn't have broke that
00:03:32That's a big old alligator, dude
00:03:34Probably would have been the biggest gator of the year right there
00:03:38That's a lucky alligator right there
00:03:40He got away
00:03:41Lucky
00:03:42Lucky ain't the word
00:03:44With an escape this dramatic in this bayou
00:03:48Troy thinks he knows the culprit
00:03:50There's a big alligator we've been after really and truly for a couple of years
00:03:55Every year during gator season when I go to that area, I see him
00:03:59And we never catch him
00:04:01Wow
00:04:01We call him lucky because he's been lucky for the last three or four years
00:04:06He's been dodging the chicken
00:04:07This is very personal now
00:04:10We have to get him and get him out of here
00:04:13Lucky for him and unlucky for us
00:04:16Want to reset?
00:04:18No, we're not going to reset right here
00:04:19But we're going to put two or three close
00:04:21Yeah
00:04:22I wonder if he's on the bank right here
00:04:24We're going to look good
00:04:25We're going to go real slow and look real good
00:04:27Let's roll
00:04:28Let's get it done
00:04:47Over in Pierre Park
00:04:50Jacob Landry and his deckhand Little Willie Edwards are off to a painfully slow start on their lines
00:04:56And Little Willie's eager to mix it up
00:05:00Jacob, I think we ought to start trying to catch a lot more alligators with the trouble hook
00:05:05I don't know
00:05:06The big ones are slick
00:05:07They don't let you get too close
00:05:09You know that
00:05:10Knowing they can't come up empty on the second to last day of the season
00:05:14With their lines failing
00:05:16The pair shift their focus to open water hunting
00:05:19But the best method is up for debate
00:05:24Trouble hooking is fun
00:05:25It's exciting
00:05:26It's probably one of the funnest things to do in an alligator boat
00:05:28But at the same time, it's not my thing
00:05:30I just feel that with the big gun
00:05:33I'm at a much better advantage of putting big alligators in the boat than with a treble hook
00:05:37Yeah, I think it's time for a little competition then
00:05:40I'm all for it if you are
00:05:42We want to see exactly what's the best method
00:05:44Whether it's big rifle or treble hook
00:05:47And Willie feels like he's on top of the world with a treble hook
00:05:50So we decide to, you know, have a little friendly wager in the boat
00:05:54And go ahead and have a competition about who can put the biggest alligators
00:05:58And the most alligators in the boat
00:05:59Using just the big gun and the treble hook
00:06:08I don't know what it is
00:06:09They got a pile of bubbles coming up over there
00:06:19That's an alligator
00:06:20Because it's still bubbling
00:06:30Right on top of him
00:06:34There you go
00:06:35Ooh, feel good?
00:06:38Ooh, ooh
00:06:41I'm coming, Willie, I'm coming
00:06:44Dean
00:06:45Big ol' gator
00:06:47Don't get that wrapped up on your goodnights
00:06:49What?
00:06:51Oh, yeah
00:06:52That's a begging, Willie
00:06:55That's a good one there, Willie
00:06:59Come on, Willie
00:07:00Give me a shot
00:07:04Oh, big net
00:07:08Hold him, Willie
00:07:09Hold him, Willie
00:07:11Shoot him
00:07:19Hey!
00:07:21I love it
00:07:23All right, Willie
00:07:24One, Jacob, zero
00:07:25You're in the lead
00:07:28In the frickin' foot
00:07:30No wonder he was pissed
00:07:31He messed up his manicure
00:07:35One, two, three
00:07:40Atta ball, Willie
00:07:42Hell yeah
00:07:48Yeah
00:07:49Good gator
00:07:50Oh, yeah
00:07:52This massive beast
00:07:53Puts little Willie ahead
00:07:55And Jacob knows
00:07:56He has to bring his A-game
00:07:58Against the young treble hooker
00:07:59I can tell that it's a good 11
00:08:01At least 11
00:08:02Maybe even mid-11s
00:08:04For the alligator
00:08:04And I know dang well
00:08:06That it's gonna take
00:08:07A hell of an alligator
00:08:08To be bigger than this one
00:08:09He's up one to nothing on me
00:08:12Yeah, that's a tank
00:08:13That treble hook ain't no joke
00:08:15Nope
00:08:16I'm gonna have my work
00:08:17Cut out for me now
00:08:18That one's gonna be hard to beat
00:08:21Hopefully we get another one
00:08:22Just like him
00:08:36Over in catarach country
00:08:39Let's roll, Teddy
00:08:40Before it gets too hot
00:08:43Joey Edgar and his daughter Callie
00:08:45Have only a dozen tags left to fill
00:08:48And Joey's determined to finish today
00:08:50One day early
00:08:51Saving hundreds of dollars
00:08:53In bait, gas, and supplies
00:08:57How many we got, Dad?
00:08:58We got 12 tags left
00:08:59It ain't gonna be easy
00:09:00Let's lean on these things
00:09:02I told Callie
00:09:03We not gonna finish this season
00:09:05With any tags unfilled
00:09:06But whenever I set a goal for myself
00:09:09I don't like to talk about it
00:09:10I just keep my head down
00:09:11Keep my fingers crossed
00:09:14And hopefully we'll get the job done
00:09:18To ensure the gators are biting today
00:09:20Joey's gambling on a radical new bait
00:09:22He bets will be familiar to gators in the area
00:09:27Guide on the big part of the tree by the boat
00:09:34Oh, yeah, what is this?
00:09:35That's beef lung
00:09:36Beef lung?
00:09:38Yeah, lung, off a cow
00:09:42Where you got that from?
00:09:43The butcher asked me if I wanted to try some
00:09:45That's why I got it
00:09:47These alligators know how to eat beef
00:09:49Yeah
00:09:49It ain't gonna have much smell
00:09:51It's just more of a color thing
00:09:53It's not real bloody
00:09:55But alligators, anything white
00:09:57Real bright colors
00:09:59They're attracted to it
00:10:00Let's hope it works
00:10:02Yeah
00:10:02These alligators in this area know what beef is
00:10:05Because the ranchers in this area
00:10:07When a cow dies
00:10:08They dump it overboard
00:10:09They dump it in the bayou
00:10:10And these alligators have learned
00:10:12To eat beef or rotting beef
00:10:14So this might be something
00:10:16Right up the alley
00:10:17And that they're accustomed to
00:10:18They might be
00:10:19It might be the go-to bait feed
00:10:21That's a big piece, Dad
00:10:23It sounds like sponge
00:10:24When you put it in there
00:10:25That's what it feel like
00:10:26Let me cut some more
00:10:28That's a layer-toothed beef
00:10:29Joey will hang 30 lines
00:10:31With this new bait
00:10:32Hoping that's plenty
00:10:33To allow them to tag out
00:10:44Well, that's one way
00:10:45Of utilizing everything, Pity
00:10:47Yeah
00:10:48Not wasting anything
00:10:49Not wasting nothing
00:11:09Over in Charenton Landing
00:11:10Like his son Joey
00:11:12Mr. Daniel and Zach
00:11:14Are within striking distance
00:11:15Of tagging out a day early
00:11:18It's been a good season
00:11:19Crazy
00:11:20But we still got tags to fill
00:11:22But we don't have that many
00:11:24I think we can finish today
00:11:25Feels so good to have a great season
00:11:28But we gotta fill these tags
00:11:29There's no way about it
00:11:30So I'm feeling good
00:11:31But five gators
00:11:32There's still five gators
00:11:33We gotta find
00:11:34We don't have that many lines out
00:11:36That's right
00:11:37That's right
00:11:38I'll tell you what
00:11:39It's a hard spot to fish
00:11:41If we don't catch them on the lines
00:11:42We're gonna have to really depend
00:11:43On that rod and reel and treble hook
00:11:45That's right
00:11:45Yes, sir
00:11:49Line down
00:12:00We got one, you think?
00:12:02Yeah
00:12:03I hope he's good
00:12:05He was on this side
00:12:11Is he coming?
00:12:13Is he coming?
00:12:14He's coming
00:12:14I got him
00:12:16There you go
00:12:17Pull him, Zach
00:12:30Come on
00:12:31Bring him to me, Zach
00:12:32Turn his head
00:12:33God, this guy is strong
00:12:34Holy cow
00:12:38That was my shot
00:12:39Oh
00:12:42On the second to last day of gator season
00:12:46Daniel and Zach are reeling in a vicious fighter
00:12:50Whoa
00:12:51Don't get bit
00:12:52Watch out
00:12:53Why this thing's so strong?
00:13:02He's facing me
00:13:03Time to do
00:13:04Shoot him
00:13:05Shoot him
00:13:05Shoot him
00:13:12Got him
00:13:13Oh, yeah
00:13:18Want to help?
00:13:19Probably
00:13:20Come here, big boy
00:13:27Not too bad
00:13:28I don't mind taking him like that
00:13:31This 10-footer is a solid start for the hunters
00:13:35With four tags left to fill and 15 lines left to run
00:13:39They still have a lot of work left to do in order to tag out a day early
00:13:44It feels so good to have one in the boat
00:13:47And that's a great start today
00:13:48But we have to tag out
00:13:50Daniel wants to fill these today
00:13:52The last day for Daniel and I to hunt
00:13:56That's solid
00:14:13Over in Bayou Gray
00:14:16Gee, baby
00:14:17Last day
00:14:19Let's get it over with, bopper
00:14:21Ronnie Adams and his deckhand Timmy O'Quant
00:14:24Have a dozen tags left to fill
00:14:26Putting their tag out within reach
00:14:30Let's make it all count
00:14:31All bigs, daddy-o
00:14:33Yeah, the season's fun
00:14:34But I'm ready for it to be over
00:14:36Me too, bro
00:14:37It's been a long year
00:14:38To ensure they finish today
00:14:40Ronnie saved his favorite honey hole for last
00:14:43An ace in the hole known as Salvation Bayou
00:14:48Waking up this morning
00:14:49I was like a kid at Christmas
00:14:51Because every year alligator season
00:14:53Just seems like it brings more and more challenges on
00:14:55And this was the toughest season ever
00:14:58We have never had a season like this before
00:15:00So right now
00:15:01I'm pumped up
00:15:03And I cannot wait to run the rest of these lines
00:15:05To see what the outcome is at the end
00:15:17Oh, look at it
00:15:18Straight out, dude
00:15:19Straight out, team
00:15:22All right, team
00:15:23What we got, baby?
00:15:24We downtown?
00:15:25Julie Brown?
00:15:29I don't see the line, team
00:15:31You?
00:15:31No
00:15:35Nothing?
00:15:36Oh, it's on the bank
00:15:37It's where?
00:15:38It's on the bank
00:15:39Full of ants
00:15:42Damn, T, bro
00:15:43That ain't good, baby
00:15:45Yeah
00:15:46You see the hook there?
00:15:47The ants uncovered the bait
00:15:49You can't even see the bait
00:15:52Yep
00:15:52If there's that many ants on it
00:15:54The alligator will never even see
00:15:56Or even smell that one
00:15:58No gator on this son of a gun
00:16:00Look at the ants that was on that thing
00:16:03Sucks, this first line
00:16:04Ain't got nothing on it
00:16:05Yeah
00:16:07This is not the start
00:16:08The hunters envisioned
00:16:09In Salvation Bayou
00:16:11On what they hope
00:16:12Will be their final day of the season
00:16:14Let's get the hell out of Dodge
00:16:16I'm kind of nervous right now
00:16:18We got a bunch of lines out
00:16:20Happy that it's coming to an end
00:16:22Because it's been such a great year
00:16:23But I just hope and pray
00:16:24Long as it pays off in the long run
00:16:26I can deal with the anxiety
00:16:28Of that right now, you know
00:16:30The little nervousness
00:16:31I can deal with that
00:16:32Not a good way to start out
00:16:34Our last day
00:16:35Not a chance, bro
00:16:51Back in Pierre Park
00:16:53Jacob and Little Willie
00:16:55Are reigniting a slow hunt
00:16:57With a competition
00:16:58To catch in open water
00:17:01Never know what you're gonna catch over here
00:17:03You never know what you're gonna catch
00:17:06It's treble versus rifle
00:17:08And Willie's ahead three to two
00:17:10The advantage with the big gun
00:17:12Is that you don't have to make
00:17:14That alligator bubble
00:17:14You can take advantage of them
00:17:16And take a shot at a far distance
00:17:17If you're a good enough shot
00:17:19Whereas Willie has to get right up on them
00:17:21He has to see the bubbles
00:17:22You have to try to track this alligator
00:17:24Which he's good at
00:17:25But at the same time
00:17:26I think
00:17:27The odds are in my favor
00:17:28About shooting from a distance
00:17:35Right there
00:17:36Right there
00:17:38Oh, Lord
00:17:46That's a real deal
00:17:47On that, eh?
00:17:51Really?
00:17:52Are your big guns loaded?
00:17:53Absolutely
00:17:54Look right there
00:17:54Look right there
00:17:55Look right there
00:17:56Cool, that's a big one out there
00:17:57Oh, yeah
00:18:02Gotta keep still
00:18:30Look right there
00:18:31On the right, Willie
00:18:32Yeah, I see him over there
00:18:33On the right
00:18:34Look, he just rolled again
00:18:48Got him
00:18:49Got him right here beside the boat
00:18:52Ooh, this thing is heavy
00:18:54It feels good
00:18:54Ooh
00:18:58Ooh
00:18:59Look at that there, Willie
00:19:00That's a giant
00:19:01Yes, indeed
00:19:02You want to hold this leg
00:19:03And I'll try to get to the front
00:19:04Yeah, that's one with the big gun, Willie
00:19:07You can't reach the big sun
00:19:12Ready?
00:19:13One
00:19:14Two
00:19:15Three
00:19:18Yes, indeed, my buddy
00:19:20That was a good shot
00:19:22One, two, three
00:19:23Ooh
00:19:24Good job
00:19:25Yeah, I guess that makes us tired, huh?
00:19:27All I'm worried about is that in the boat, baby
00:19:30That's all my main objective
00:19:33Another 11-foot beast makes the score 3-3
00:19:37And Jacob is especially proud of this one
00:19:40You know, shooting from a boat is really difficult
00:19:43The boat's constantly moving
00:19:45Every little ripple
00:19:46Whether it be two or three inches tall
00:19:48Can make that boat move
00:19:50And obviously it makes you move
00:19:51So therefore, you only have maybe a one-inch target
00:19:54To hit at 100 or 200 yards
00:19:56So when you have that opportunity
00:19:59Where you feel still
00:20:00And you feel like you can pull off the shot
00:20:02You got to take it
00:20:03Because a lot of times
00:20:04Them big ones are big for a reason
00:20:06And they're not going to give you much of a shot
00:20:08Or time to shoot
00:20:10Hey, my son
00:20:11That's what I'm talking about
00:20:12Catching, baby
00:20:13We're catching
00:20:30Back in Lake Fossey Point
00:20:32Is that a clothespin hanging out that branch?
00:20:36Yeah
00:20:38Troy and Pickle are running their lines
00:20:40And chasing a beast named Lucky
00:20:43Ain't no slack on that
00:20:44But so far
00:20:46They're coming up empty
00:20:48No slack, no slack
00:20:49Nothing
00:20:51You know, this gator
00:20:52Is really a challenge
00:20:54Because we should have caught him by now
00:20:57He's smarter than your average gator
00:20:59He's popping lines
00:21:00Or he's very frustrating
00:21:02This alligator's costing us a lot of time
00:21:05And a lot of money
00:21:09I see a tight line
00:21:11Come on
00:21:14Looks like we got a crime scene, Pee-wee
00:21:16You think this is lucky?
00:21:22Don't come
00:21:23Get your gun
00:21:29Bring him up, Pee-wee
00:21:31Bring him up
00:21:41That thing is mean
00:21:48Come with the ball
00:21:53Give me a shot
00:21:54Come try in
00:21:56Come try in
00:21:58Woo
00:22:01Woo
00:22:03Watch him
00:22:07In Lake Fossey Point
00:22:09Troy and Pickle hope they finally caught their nemesis Lucky
00:22:13Woo
00:22:14Watch him, Pee-wee
00:22:15Watch him
00:22:18Hold on
00:22:19Hold on
00:22:20Give me a shot
00:22:21I'm trying
00:22:28I'm trying
00:22:29Woo
00:22:29Woo
00:22:29Woo
00:22:29Woo
00:22:30Woo
00:22:34Bring him up
00:22:35Bring him up
00:22:35Bring him up
00:22:36Bring him up
00:22:36Bring him up
00:22:37Bring him up
00:22:38Shoot it, Troy
00:22:45Oh, yeah
00:22:47Oh, yeah
00:22:48Oh, you just know right where to put it
00:22:54Look at this
00:22:56Look at this
00:22:56Oh, Lord
00:22:57It's all laid up
00:22:58Yeah
00:22:59Yeah
00:22:59I guarantee you that's that big one
00:23:02The one you call Lucky
00:23:04Look it
00:23:05Look his head is all broken in
00:23:07Oh, my God
00:23:08His head is all smashed
00:23:10I ain't never seen one
00:23:11I just bit him in the head
00:23:12He got bite marks all over him
00:23:14He was just chewing on this little thing
00:23:16Cool
00:23:16Look at that teat mark
00:23:18Look at the size of that
00:23:19Look
00:23:19He was fixing to eat the whole thing
00:23:21We drove up
00:23:22It's clear this mangled gator
00:23:24Isn't the beast thereafter
00:23:26But with only two days left in the season
00:23:28Troy's brought along an insurance policy
00:23:32These gators
00:23:33Other than alligator season
00:23:35For one month out of the year
00:23:36They eat wild animals
00:23:38They eat raccoons
00:23:39And neutral rats
00:23:40And possums
00:23:41And dead fish
00:23:42That's what their diet is
00:23:45Most of the time it's dead fish
00:23:47So what I decided to do
00:23:49Was try a different bait
00:23:51How do you hang these things?
00:23:53Show me just real quick
00:23:54Just go through the gill
00:23:55Make a few little holes in it
00:23:57For the smell
00:23:58Just watch your hands, okay?
00:24:00Make a few little holes like that
00:24:02For the smell
00:24:03Like a potato?
00:24:04Yeah
00:24:04Okay
00:24:05Yeah
00:24:06And then you just look at Trudeau
00:24:08Yeah
00:24:08They come on the back side
00:24:09Okay
00:24:10From the back
00:24:12Troy and Piggle will rebate their lines with a putrid fish known as shad
00:24:18You know the chicken stinks bad enough
00:24:20But the shad has a different smell completely
00:24:23And it's a smell that gets in your sinuses
00:24:27And you smell it long after you're off the boat
00:24:29I figured he wouldn't be able to resist this
00:24:32That's gonna get him, huh?
00:24:35Guaranteed
00:24:36I promise you
00:24:37It does look kinda tasty
00:24:50Back in Salvation Bayou
00:24:54I can't believe
00:24:55We got 12 tags left
00:24:57And done ran 12 lines
00:24:58And ain't caught the first alligator
00:25:01Ronnie's guaranteed hotspot is turning out to be the opposite
00:25:04And if they don't finish today
00:25:06It could cost them hundreds of dollars in supplies
00:25:10Not good
00:25:11Not good at all, bro
00:25:13Yeah
00:25:14I was so pumped this morning to be done with gator season today
00:25:17This is unreal, bro
00:25:19I'm kinda nervous right now
00:25:21First couple lines is freaking empty
00:25:24I wanna end out with a bang
00:25:26At least catch one or two good gators
00:25:28But I gotta make it happen
00:25:30Cause right now
00:25:31These lines ain't cutting it
00:25:44Got one on that little tree over there
00:25:46It looks like it's moving
00:25:47It's down?
00:25:48Where at?
00:25:49That tree that's shaking
00:25:51Oh, oh
00:25:51The tree shaker
00:25:52Had to be good, baby
00:25:54Let's get it
00:25:5612 tags
00:25:57Let's fill at least one
00:25:59I hope it's something nice
00:26:01I hope it's something nice
00:26:04We do got something here, baby
00:26:06I don't know what
00:26:10Ooh, T
00:26:11T, T, T, T, T
00:26:12Get the gun, baby
00:26:18Oh, yeah, baby
00:26:19We got a good one
00:26:20Here, five of them
00:26:23Finally, our luck changed around my dude
00:26:28All right, T, ready?
00:26:32Shoot him, T, shoot him
00:26:45Good job, T
00:26:47Good job, T
00:26:48Good job, T
00:26:50Hold on, T, let me grab these tags
00:26:52Twelve
00:26:53Twelve left, T
00:26:54Now it'll be eleven, baby
00:26:57This nine-footer jump starts Ronnie and Timmy's day
00:27:02But they still have a long way to go to be able to tag out
00:27:06Click, click
00:27:08Eleven more sticks to go
00:27:10And it ain't a great gator
00:27:11But who cares
00:27:12It's the last day
00:27:13So I'm stoked
00:27:14But I still got tags left to fill
00:27:16And we gotta catch them while we can
00:27:18Baby, let's tag out today, T
00:27:20A day's tearing around, bro
00:27:22I just hope it continues
00:27:23Yeah
00:27:41Back in cattle country
00:27:43Mmm, let's roll, Teddy
00:27:45See if that beef lung's paying off
00:27:47Joey and Callie are returning to the lines they set with beef lung
00:27:52Hoping the new bait will allow them to fill their last twelve tags
00:27:56And finish the season early
00:27:58I don't know
00:28:00Alligators anything white
00:28:02Real bright colors
00:28:04They're attracted to it
00:28:06You know, alligator hunting can be repetitive and just
00:28:09The same old grind all the time
00:28:12I'm just hoping that this beef lung might be the bait to help us end the season early
00:28:18The sooner we can get these tags filled, the sooner we can get back home
00:28:22So I'm keeping my fingers crossed
00:28:25We might get our opportunity
00:28:32Hey, Teddy, we got one on, serious
00:28:42All right
00:28:43All right
00:28:44All right

00:30:18we're on track but anything can happen

00:48:54This 11-foot monster evens the score with eight gators apiece.
00:48:59That's it, my boy, that's it.
00:49:01Yes, sir.
00:49:02And although the day ends in a draw,
00:49:04the hunters accomplish their goal of filling the boat.
00:49:08We got 16 alligators.
00:49:11We're tired.
00:49:12Trouble hooking and sniping is tit for tat.
00:49:14We're the sniping and trouble hooking kings out here.
00:49:17So that's all that matters.
00:49:19Good job, Willie.
00:49:21Good job, Jacob.
00:49:23Yes, indeed.
00:49:37Back in cattle country, Joey and Callie need to fill one more tag to finish their season early.
00:49:44One left, Teddy.
00:49:46Look, Teddy.
00:49:47Yeah.
00:49:48That beef lung, the young ones are hitting it as soon as you hang it.
00:49:52Right.
00:49:53Look at him on the line.
00:49:54He's just holding on to the lung.
00:49:56He's not, he didn't swallow the hook yet.
00:49:58That beef lung is working.
00:50:00I feel that the guards are shining light on him.
00:50:04Ain't like that lung.
00:50:06I'm telling you that beef lung is getting them and I'm excited to run the rest of the
00:50:11lines.
00:50:23Look, Teddy.
00:50:25Ain't like that lung.
00:50:30Watch yourself.
00:50:36Look, look, look.
00:50:43That's a good one.
00:50:48Bite in a bolt.
00:50:49I know.
00:50:50Teddy, whenever you can get a shot.
00:50:57Whoa!
00:51:00Give me a shot.
00:51:02You have to rock it.
00:51:04Whoa!
00:51:10In cattle country, Joey and Callie are trying to bag their final Gator of the season.
00:51:20Whoa!
00:51:23That's a good one.
00:51:25Give me your shot, Daddy.
00:51:26Give me your shot.
00:51:27I'm trying to.
00:51:31You got to rock it.
00:51:48That's a good one, Daddy.
00:51:50Good job.
00:51:51Let's put him on a tip.
00:51:54Watch your leg.
00:51:55All right.
00:51:56This 12-foot monster ends the season on a high note.
00:52:00And Joey's grateful to add a new bait to his arsenal.
00:52:04Our time this year was special.
00:52:06We had fun.
00:52:08We killed some alligators.
00:52:09This beef lung, I've never used it before.
00:52:12But just like all fishermen, you're never too old to learn.
00:52:15We fill the boat up.
00:52:17That's what we're here to do.
00:52:18Kill alligators and load boats.
00:52:21We got him, Dad.
00:52:23We got him, Dad.
00:52:37Back in Salvation Bayou.
00:52:40Come on, big gators.
00:52:41Despite having one of their hardest days of the year, Ronnie and Timmy are one gator
00:52:46away from tagging out.
00:52:49Well, it's nicer to be able to tag out if we got one.
00:52:51Yeah, bro.
00:52:52Let's tag it and stag it, baby.
00:52:54Please.
00:52:55You know, coming up on this last line, one tag left.
00:52:59I am nervous.
00:53:00I'm sweating bullets right now.
00:53:01But that's just part of gator hunting.
00:53:04It's what it's all about.
00:53:06I want to finish with a bang.
00:53:11We ain't got much light left.
00:53:13Couple hours?
00:53:14Yeah.
00:53:14Well, I'd like to get the hell out of dodge, bro.
00:53:17Look, he's on paint.
00:53:20Dude, we're about to tag out on a giant, son.
00:53:23Heck, yeah.
00:53:25Ooh, T, look at the size of this dude, bro.
00:53:28I know.
00:53:29I think I ought to shoot him before he take off.
00:53:31Yeah, he might rip the hook out of his mouth.
00:53:34Let's just creep up to him slow, slow, slow, all right?
00:53:38Come straight in like you are.
00:53:40Cool, T.
00:53:41Try to shoot him in the ear, huh?
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:51Shot over you.
00:53:51No sights on this thing, bro.
00:53:55Shooting one more time, T.
00:53:58Ooh, T.
00:54:04Cool, looking the size of him, T.
00:54:08Ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:54:09This mother freak is a giant, T.
00:54:12Yeah, that is a giant.
00:54:16Go ahead, get it, get it over with, T.
00:54:21T.
00:54:22Ooh!
00:54:28Hello, baby.
00:54:29Tagged out, baby.
00:54:31Class one.
00:54:32What a season.
00:54:33We had knocked him out, bro.
00:54:36One, two, three.
00:54:37All right, Tim.
00:54:39Cool, look at this giant, bro.
00:54:41This 11-foot giant is exactly what Ronnie and Timmy needed to end their season.
00:54:47One left, Daddy-o.
00:54:49And I'm gonna give you the honors, bro.
00:54:52Last day of hunting, monster gator on the line,
00:54:55probably one of the biggest all year.
00:54:57It's just a great ending to a great season.
00:55:00I cannot wait to hear the click-click.
00:55:02Click-click.
00:55:03We have never had a season like this before.
00:55:07We are finished!
00:55:19Back in Charmton Landing,
00:55:22Daniel and Zach have one tag left to fill for the year.
00:55:26But with no lines left, their fate depends on open-water hunting.
00:55:31One more.
00:55:31We're done working our way through the lines,
00:55:34but we need one more alligator to tag out.
00:55:37Luckily, I brought my rod and reel, so let's throw one more in the boat.
00:55:46Look, look, look.
00:55:47Oh, my goodness.
00:55:48That's a good one.
00:55:50A little bit more, a little bit more.
00:55:53All right, good.
00:55:54That's how we tag out.
00:55:57That's it.
00:55:58That's it.
00:55:59Oh, I can't reach, dude.
00:56:01Dead.
00:56:01Oh, my God.
00:56:03Oh, he's going down.
00:56:04You might be able to get him on the move.
00:56:05Okay.
00:56:11Go get him.
00:56:12That might be right on top of him.
00:56:14He's still there, huh?
00:56:14Yeah, yeah.
00:56:18I got him.
00:56:19Yeah, way to go.
00:56:20You got him, T.
00:56:21Let's go.
00:56:24Way to go.
00:56:25Tighten the dragon a little bit.
00:56:26Don't give him anything.
00:56:30Tickets, Zach.
00:56:30Yeah, hold on.
00:56:31We don't want to lose him.
00:56:32Yeah, we don't want to lose him, dude.
00:56:32Because if he turns, comes back on me.
00:56:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:56:36Okay, just stop.
00:56:38All right, stop.
00:56:40Oh, my God.
00:56:41This feels like a marlin, dude.
00:56:43You have to turn just like you were doing.
00:56:44Hard.
00:56:45Hard.
00:56:46He's in trouble and he knows it, Zach.
00:56:48Okay, D.
00:56:48Go ahead.
00:56:49I'm telling you.
00:56:53I'm fixing to let you look at him.
00:56:55That's going to do it.
00:56:55That's going to do it.
00:56:56I'm fixing to let you look at him, Zach.
00:56:57You better lean, Marlin.
00:56:58You better lean.
00:57:00Fire!
