00:00:00.
00:00:14Whoa.
00:00:15His head's right there.
00:00:16Shoot him.
00:00:17Woo, watch him.
00:00:18With over two days left in gator season, the pressure is on.
00:00:22Woo!
00:00:24One family makes a bold push to tag out early.
00:00:27I 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.
00:00:44We got a bunch of lines out, and I want to end out with a bang.
00:00:48Ooh, gee!
00:00:49He 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.
00:00:56Wow.
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 using just a big gun and a treble hook.
00:01:12That's a big one, will it?
00:01:13With the clock ticket, hunters have to cash out...
00:01:17You missed him, Tootie.
00:01:19...before it's too late.
00:01:21Oh, yeah, baby!
00:01:22Woo!
00:01:23There he is!
00:01:23Oh, my God!
00:01:24Woo.
00:01:25Woo.
00:01:29Woo!
00:01:31Woo.
00:01:49jeden
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
00:02:04Comes your way
00:02:16As daylight breaks in southern Louisiana
00:02:24Can the swamp Troy Landry and his deckhand pick a 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 where they're climbing up and down
00:02:38The Landrys have over 100 tags left to fill for the season
00:02:43So 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
00:03:00And you got a lot of alligators in it
00:03:08What 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
00:03:27There'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
00:04:49Jacob 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, you feel good?
00:06:38Oh, that's work
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 one, Jacob zero
00:07:26You'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
00:07:39Atta boy, Willie
00:07:42That a boy, Willie
00:07:43Hell yeah
00:07:48Yeah
00:07:48Good gator
00:07:50Oh, yeah
00:07:52This massive beast puts little Willie ahead
00:07:55And Jacob knows he has to bring his A game against the young treble hooker
00:07:59I can tell that it's a good 11
00:08:01At least 11, maybe even mid-11s for the alligator
00:08:04And I know dang well that it's gonna take a hell of an alligator to 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 cut out for me now
00:08:18That one's gonna be hard to beat
00:08:21Hopefully we get another one just 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
00:08:47And Joey's determined to finish today
00:08:50One day early
00:08:51Saving hundreds of dollars in 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 with 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
00:09:38Lung
00:09:39Off a cow
00:09:42Where you got that from?
00:09:43The butcher asked me if I wanted to try something
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 to eat beef
00:10:14Or rotting beef
00:10:14So this might be something right 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 when 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 with this new bait
00:10:32Hoping that's plenty to allow him 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
00:11:08Over 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
00:11:26Feels 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 we 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?
00:12:14I got him
00:12:16Hold him
00:12:18Hold him, Zach
00:12:23Whoa!
00:12:30Come on!
00:12:31Bring him to me, Zach
00:12:32Turn his hand
00:12:33God, this guy is strong
00:12:34Holy cow
00:12:37That was my shot
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
00:12:54Why this thing is so strong?
00:13:02He's facing me
00:13:03Turn his hand
00:13:04Shoot him, shoot him, shoot him
00:13:12Got him
00:13:14Got him
00:13:14Oh, 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
00:13:30I 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
00:13:37And 15 lines left to run
00:13:39They still have a lot of work left to do
00:13:41In 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 two days
00:13:52The last day
00:13:53For Daniel and I to hunt
00:13:55That'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
00:14:23Timmy 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
00:14:44Known as Salvation Bayou
00:14:48Waking up this morning
00:14:49I was like a kid at Christmas
00:14:51Because every year
00:14:52Alligator season
00:14:53Just seems like it brings
00:14:54More and more challenges on
00:14:55And this was the toughest season ever
00:14:58We have never had a season
00:14:59Like this before
00:15:00So right now
00:15:01I'm pumped up
00:15:03And I cannot wait
00:15:04To 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 on
00:21:55Come on
00:21:56Come on
00:21:56Come on
00:21:58Come on
00:21:59Come on
00:22:04Come on
00:22:04Watch him
00:22:07In Lake Fossey Point
00:22:09Troy and Pickle hope they finally caught their nemesis Lucky
00:22:13Oh
00:22:14Watch him, Pee-wee
00:22:15Watch him
00:22:18Oh, Lord
00:22:19Give me a shot
00:22:21I'm crying
00:22:28I'm crying
00:22:29Oh
00:22:29Oh
00:22:31Oh
00:22:31Oh
00:22:31Oh
00:22:32Oh
00:22:32Oh
00:22:34Oh
00:22:34Oh
00:22:35Oh
00:22:35Oh
00:22:35Bring him up
00:22:37Shoot it, Troy
00:22:46Oh
00:22:46Oh, yeah
00:22:48Oh
00:22:49Oh
00:22:50You just know right where to put it
00:22:54Look at this
00:22:56Oh, Lord
00:22:57It all ate up?
00:22:58Yeah
00:22:59Yeah
00:23:22It's clear this mangled gator isn't the beast they're after.
00:23:26But with only two days left in the season,
00:23:28Troy's brought along an insurance policy.
00:23:32These gators, other than alligator season,
00:23:35for one month out of the year,
00:23:37eat wild animals, eat raccoons and neutral rats
00:23:40and possums and dead fish.
00:23:43That's what their diet is.
00:23:45Most of the time, it's dead fish.
00:23:47So what I decided to do was try a different bait.
00:23:51How do you hang these things?
00:23:53Show me just real quick. Just go through the gill.
00:23:55Make a few little holes in it for the smell.
00:23:58Just watch your hand, okay?
00:24:00Make a few little holes like that for the smell.
00:24:03Like a potato?
00:24:03Yeah.
00:24:05Okay.
00:24:05Yeah.
00:24:06And then you just hook it through the...
00:24:08They come on the back side.
00:24:09Okay.
00:24:10From the back.
00:24:12Troy and Pickle will rebate their lines
00:24:15with a putrid fish known as shad.
00:24:18You know, the chicken stinks bad enough,
00:24:21but the shad has a different smell completely.
00:24:24And 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.
00:24:33That's gonna get him, huh?
00:24:35Guaranteed.
00:24:36I promise you.
00:24:37It does look kind of tasty.
00:24:50Back in Salvation Bayou...
00:24:54I can't believe we got 12 tags left,
00:24:57and I ran 12 lines and 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,
00:25:07it 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 kind of nervous right now.
00:25:21First couple lines is freaking empty.
00:25:25I want to end out with a bang,
00:25:26at least catch one or two good gators,
00:25:28but I got to make it happen,
00:25:30because right now, these lines ain't cutting it.
00:25:44Got one on that little tree over there.
00:25:46It looks like, uh...
00:25:46It's down?
00:25:47Yeah.
00:25:48Where at?
00:25:49That tree that's shaking.
00:25:51Oh, oh!
00:25:52The tree's shaking.
00:25:53Had to be good, baby.
00:25:55Let'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.
00:26:05We do got something here, baby.
00:26:06I don't know what.
00:26:10Ooh, T.
00:26:11T, T, T, T, T.
00:26:13Get the gun, baby.
00:26:18Oh, yeah, baby.
00:26:19We got a good one.
00:26:20Here, Papa.
00:26:23Finally, I love to change around my dude.
00:26:28All right, T, right here.
00:26:29Ready?
00:26:32Shoot him, T, shoot him!
00:26:45Good job, T.
00:26:47Good job, T.
00:26:50Hold on, T. Let me grab these tags.
00:26:5212 left, T.
00:26:54Now it'll be 11, baby.
00:26:57This nine-footer jump starts Ronnie and Timmy's day, but they still have a long way to go to
00:27:04be able to tag out.
00:27:06Click, click.
00:27:0811 more sticks to go.
00:27:10You know, they ain't a great gator, but who cares?
00:27:12It's the last day, so I'm stoked, but I still got tags left in Phil, and we gotta catch them
00:27:17while we can.
00:27:18Baby, let's tag out today, T.
00:27:21Our day's tearing around, bro.
00:27:22I just hope it continues.
00:27:41Back in cattle country, Joey 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 12 tags and finish the season early.
00:27:58I don't know.
00:28:00Alligators, anything white, real bright colors, they're attracted to it.
00:28:06You know, alligator hunting can be repetitive and just the 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.
00:28:32Okay, Teddy, we got one on, serious.
00:28:41All right.
00:28:43All right.
00:28:45I'll make you a slip now.
00:28:48Like that.
00:28:52Strong alligator.
00:28:58Get your rifle.
00:29:11Watch it, Teddy.
00:29:18Watch it, Teddy.
00:29:20Give me a shot, Dad.
00:29:33Good job.
00:29:34It's a nice alligator, Dad.
00:29:36We're going to pull him in while he's fresh.
00:29:41Wait.
00:29:42Okay, we got it.
00:29:44Rolling, Daddy.
00:29:46Come on.
00:29:46Come on.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:49Come on.
00:29:50Come on.
00:29:51Watch his head.
00:29:52Put his head down.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:58Nice one.
00:29:59Yeah, that's a nice one.
00:30:01Not a giant, but that's a good one.
00:30:03That's a contender.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:05That's a contender.
00:30:06This beef lung is already off to a hot start,
00:30:10but 11 gators still stand between them and tagging out a day early.
00:30:15This beef lung, it showed that it's catching pretty good.
00:30:18We're on track, but anything can happen.
00:30:21Just because you're catching them early doesn't mean that you're going to catch them all day.
00:30:26That's what I'm talking about, baby.
00:30:28That beef lung's paying off.
00:30:30Yeah, it sure is.
00:30:46Back in Charrington landing, Daniel and Zach filled two of their remaining five tags as they scramble to fill their
00:30:54season a day early.
00:30:57Let's see what we can do back here.
00:30:59It's a hard spot to fish, man.
00:31:02Luckily for Zach and I, just coming out the gate, we started catching alligators.
00:31:06But time's so important, so we're going to work hard, get some of these alligators, and get them tomorrow.
00:31:15Yeah, right there.
00:31:30You got one on me?
00:31:32Yeah.
00:31:33Oh, you're the man there.
00:31:37Oh, you wet me way over here.
00:31:41I got him.
00:31:42Grab the gun, Daniel.
00:31:44Oh, that's a solid one.
00:31:46Come on.
00:31:50Zach, give me a shot.
00:31:52All right, I almost got him to you.
00:31:54Pull him, Zach.
00:31:55Oh my god.
00:31:59Give me a shot.
00:32:00In Charrington landing.
00:32:01Oh, that's a solid one.
00:32:02Come on.
00:32:04Daniel and Zach hooked a wild beast.
00:32:07Zach, give me a shot.
00:32:09All right, I almost got him to you.
00:32:11Pull him, Zach.
00:32:12Oh my god.
00:32:13Give me a shot.
00:32:14I'm trying.
00:32:16Give me a shot.
00:32:17Turn these heads.
00:32:22Come on.
00:32:25There you go, there you go.
00:32:35Nice.
00:32:36Nice one.
00:32:37We go out in the swamp and ride the bulls, so we swamp cowboys.
00:32:44That's what I'm talking about.
00:32:47With this giant on board, Mr. Daniel and Zach are two gators away from finishing their season.
00:32:54Our fishing effort's going pretty good, and we got a couple of good alligators on the line,
00:33:00so I'm feeling pretty good right now.
00:33:05Not gonna be easy, buddy.
00:33:24Back in Pierre Park, in the contest between sniper rifle and treble, Jacob leads Little Willie by a score of
00:33:32six to five.
00:33:34Look at that big one coming out down there.
00:33:38The pressure's back on me.
00:33:39Now I'm up again to get it done with the treble hook and all and find another alligator.
00:33:44I'm up on the chop block, so we're gonna see if I can get it done.
00:33:56Over there by that log.
00:33:58He's right here.
00:34:08Do your thing, Willie Wayne.
00:34:16Him?
00:34:17Yeah, that's him.
00:34:20I got him.
00:34:42Hey, Pop.
00:34:45Yeah, he broke it.
00:34:47Damn.
00:34:49That was a big gator.
00:34:52Man, he broke my rope.
00:34:54Damn it, Willie.
00:34:56Missing this giant alligator is a huge blow to little Willie.
00:35:00He knows that he'll need to treble hook a giant to catch up to Jacob and prove his worth in
00:35:06a landry boat.
00:35:08Big opportunity for me, and it's rough.
00:35:11I mean, you get your time to shine, you mess it up, and it kind of bums you out.
00:35:18I mean, it's kind of embarrassing.
00:35:19You wait all this time, and you miss it, so I've got to redeem myself.
00:35:24I'm kind of in the hole right now.
00:35:26I've got to go ahead and climb out of that hole.
00:35:29You don't think it's still right there, huh?
00:35:32No, that gator, he went out there somewhere.
00:35:36It'll be a good one to add to the power, buddy.
00:35:55Back in Salvation Bayou, Ronnie and Timmy are anxious to close out their season.
00:36:01But Ronnie's trusted honey hole hasn't given them what he hoped.
00:36:06Eight more tags, baby. Let's do it.
00:36:09We got eight tags left.
00:36:10I know that seems like not that many, but we done fished this area a bunch.
00:36:15We got a bunch of lines out there.
00:36:17But eight tags is like an eternity.
00:36:19And hopefully it pays off, baby.
00:36:22Come on, T. We need our luck to change, bro.
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26We need to reach out to the gator gods to help us out.
00:36:28Eight more gators. Let's make it happen.
00:36:30Let's make it happen.
00:36:43We're down.

00:45:21Shoot him now. Shoot him. Shoot him.
00:45:28Oh, my God.
00:45:31It started raining.
00:45:33That is a monster.
00:45:35Look at the mouth on that thing.
00:45:37I could bring this gator to the other side of the boat.
00:45:39And we'll just leave the winch over there, all right?
00:45:43I can drag him right over there.
00:45:44Well, let me just hook him first.
00:45:46Okay.
00:45:49All right.
00:45:50Over here, Zach.
00:45:51Oh, God, my big boy.
00:45:57Oh, that's a monster.
00:46:00Yes, sir.
00:46:01It's a nice alligator.
00:46:02Some of these old alligators,
00:46:04they have adjusted themselves to all our chicken and lions,
00:46:08and they've seen it all.
00:46:09But that lung.
00:46:10It just, when he saw that,
00:46:12he stopped thinking about everything that he learned.
00:46:14Yeah.
00:46:16His head's all the way on the other side of the boat,
00:46:18and this boat's eight feet wide.
00:46:19Yeah, that's probably Levin.
00:46:21That's a big boy.
00:46:22This giant is a great catch for the hunters,
00:46:24but they still have one tag left to fill
00:46:28and no lines left to run.
00:46:30We finished running the lines,
00:46:31but we still need one more alligator to tag out.
00:46:34So I know it's time to break out that rod reel.
00:46:37It's time to go hunting.
00:46:38Let me go check a good spot.
00:46:41We might get him with the rod reel trouble hook.
00:46:43Talking about the open leg?
00:46:44Yep, yep.
00:46:45It's going to be tough,
00:46:47but it's the last tag.
00:46:48And if we get a goal, let's go out big.
00:46:51We'll get a big one.
00:46:52We'll give it a shot, Bob.
00:46:53Let's go give it a shot.
00:46:55Right now, let's go.
00:47:05Back in Pierre Park,
00:47:08Jacob holds a narrow lead with eight snob gators.
00:47:12Is that one with his head up over there, Mr. Jacob?
00:47:17Oh, yeah, baby.
00:47:19Little Willie needs one more
00:47:21to tie this treble versus rifle showdown.
00:47:24Me and Jacob got a little competition.
00:47:26Going on a treble hook and sniping and all.
00:47:29Right now, I'm a little iffy about it and all.
00:47:31I got big standards to meet, you know?
00:47:33So we're going to see if I can get it done.
00:47:38We're going to try to push them a little closer
00:47:40until the bank where it's shallow, the treble hook.
00:47:45Head just went down.
00:47:52He's right here.
00:47:58He's right on top of him.
00:48:05Feel good?
00:48:06Yeah.
00:48:07Oh, yeah.
00:48:08Oh, yeah.
00:48:13Now we don't get po-po.
00:48:20Come on.
00:48:21Come on, Willie.
00:48:22Come on, Willie.
00:48:23Damn it.
00:48:27Hold him.
00:48:27Hold him, Willie.
00:48:52All right, Willie, we tie it up.
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, the hunters accomplish their goal of filling the boat.
00:49:08We got 16 alligators.
00:49:11We tied.
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 gods are shining light on him.
00:50:04They like that lung.
00:50:06I'm telling you, that beef lung is getting him, and I'm excited to run the rest of the lung.
00:50:23Look, Teddy.
00:50:25They like that lung.
00:50:30Watch yourself.
00:50:36Look, look, look.
00:50:43That's a good one.
00:50:48Bite in a boat.
00:50:49I know.
00:50:50Teddy, whenever you can get a shot.
00:51:00Give me a shot.
00:51:02That's a rock.
00:51:04Whoa.
00:51:06Woo-hoo!
00:51:10In cattle country...
00:51:12Oh, my God.
00:51:14Joey and Callie are trying to bag their final gator of the season.
00:51:20Whoa.
00:51:24That's a good one.
00:51:25Give me your shot, Daddy.
00:51:26Give me your shot.
00:51:28I'm trying to...
00:51:31You got to rock it.
00:51:39Bah!
00:51:48That's a good one, Daddy.
00:51:50Good job.
00:51:51Let's put him on the table.
00:51:54Watch your leg.
00:51:55All right.
00:51:56This 12-foot monster ends the season on a high note, and Joey's grateful to add a new bait
00:52:03to 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...
00:52:11I've never used it before, but 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.
00:52:21Now, we got him, Dad.
00:52:37Back in Salvation Bayou.
00:52:40Come on, big gator.
00:52:41Despite having one of their hardest days of the year, Ronnie and Timmy are one gator away
00:52:47from tagging out.
00:52:48Well, 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, but that's just part of gator hunting.
00:53:03It's what it's all about.
00:53:06I want to finish with a bang.
00:53:11We ain't got much light left.
00:53:12A couple hours?
00:53:14Yeah.
00:53:14Well, I'd like to get the hell out of Dodge, bro.
00:53:17Look, he's on bank.
00:53:20Dude, we're about to tag out on a giant, son.
00:53:23Heck, yeah.
00:53:25Oh, 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.
00:53:39Cool, T.
00:53:41Try to shoot him in the ear, huh?
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:50He shot over.
00:53:51No sights on this thing, bro.
00:53:55Shoot him one more time, T.
00:53:58Ooh, T.
00:54:04Ooh, look at the size of him, T.
00:54:08Ooh, ooh.
00:54:09This mother freak is a giant, T.
00:54:12Yeah, that is a giant.
00:54:16Go ahead.
00:54:16Get it.
00:54:17Get it over with, T.
00:54:17Whoa, baby.
00:54:28That up, baby!
00:54:30Tagged out, baby!
00:54:31Last one.
00:54:32What a season.
00:54:33We had knocked him out, bro.
00:54:36One, two, three.
00:54:38All right, T, cool.
00:54:39Look 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, and I'm going to give you the honors, bro.
00:54:52Last day of hunting, monster gator on the line, probably 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 Charm's Landing, Daniel 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.
00:55:32We're done working our way through the lines, but we need one more alligator to tag out.
00:55:36Luckily, 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 a tag go.
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.
00:56:03You 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!
00:56:19Way to go!
00:56:20You got him, T.
00:56:21Let's go!
00:56:24Where'd it go?
00:56:25I had to drag a little bit.
00:56:26Don't give him anything.
00:56:30Tickets, eh?
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.
00:56:37All right, stop.
00:56:40Oh, my God.
00:56:41This feels like a marlin, dude.
00:56:43You're going to have to turn just like you were doing.
00:56:44Hard.
00:56:45Hard.
00:56:46He's in trouble, and he knows it, Jack.
00:56:48Okay, D, go 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 look at him, Zach.
00:56:58You better look at him, Zach.
00:56:59Yeah!
00:57:00Come on, man.
00:57:02Zach, get the big gun.
00:57:04No!
00:57:05Hold on, hold on.
00:57:07Oh!
00:57:13On the second-to-last day of gator season,
00:57:16Hold on!
00:57:18Daniel and Zach are fighting to tag out with a monster.
00:57:22You want to look at him?
00:57:23There he is!
00:57:24You want to look at him?
00:57:25There he is, buddy.
00:57:26Hold on!
00:57:27Oh, he's big.
00:57:29Zach, get the big gun.
00:57:31I'm getting him.
00:57:32Oh!
00:57:32Hold on, hold on!
00:57:35Shoot that thing!
00:57:40Oh!
00:57:41You got him.
00:57:42Where's his head?
00:57:43Hold on.
00:57:44I'm coming up with him.
00:57:46One more tag, baby.
00:57:47Come on.
00:57:50Oh!
00:57:57Ha!
00:57:58That one?
00:58:00He's every bit of 12.
00:58:02Close to 13.
00:58:04Tag out!
00:58:05If you got a tag out, tag out, baby.
00:58:07Ha!
00:58:10Ha!
00:58:10Get this over here.
00:58:12All right.
00:58:12All right.
00:58:19Look how big around that monster is.
00:58:21Look at that, boy!
00:58:22That's taller than us!
00:58:24Yeah.
00:58:25From one side of the boat, all the way to the other side,
00:58:28more than six feet straight up.
00:58:30This 13-foot leviathan caps off a season full of monsters.
00:58:35And they did it with a day to spare.
00:58:38It's been a really good day for Zach and I.
00:58:40We decide to go out in deep water, and there's a bull.
00:58:45But we also just finished early, so we're smiling.
00:58:49It's been a good day.
00:58:50Ha!
00:58:50Ha!
00:58:51What a season!
00:58:52Hey, that's...
00:58:53I think that was my best one yet with you, Daniel.
00:58:56I love you.
00:58:57I appreciate you.
00:58:58Thank you, Zach.
00:58:59Hey.
00:59:00I had a wonderful time, buddy.
00:59:01The only...
00:59:01I wish I could be your blood grandson, brother.
00:59:04Dream team.
00:59:05I'm telling you.
00:59:16Over in Lake Fosse Point,
00:59:18Troy and Pickle are still running their shad lines
00:59:21looking for Lucky.
00:59:23You know he's right here somewhere.
00:59:26He's there, the number.
00:59:28Lucky's luck is gonna run out.
00:59:30But despite the fact they haven't caught him yet,
00:59:33Pickle remains confident in her captain.
00:59:37He knows so much about how to lure an alligator out,
00:59:41and especially, like, these old small ones.
00:59:43So today I'm learning something new, you know?
00:59:46Like, you can't always bait with chicken.
00:59:48You gotta kind of break it up.
00:59:49And they used to be smelling his chicken for a month now,
00:59:52you know, and finally, boom, we throw him a shad,
00:59:54and he's gonna bite.
00:59:59What'd you see, Peewee?
01:00:01Ooh.
01:00:04Oh, look at him, up on a bank.
01:00:07Oh, now that I see him, now that I see him.
01:00:09Hurry up.
01:00:10How's that going?
01:00:12This could be him.
01:00:13He's big.
01:00:16Yeah, you think this is him?
01:00:17He's really big.
01:00:18It could be Lucky.
01:00:25Ooh!
01:00:26Oh, whoa.
01:00:27It's a big one!
01:00:29Shoot him.
01:00:32Shoot him!
01:00:34Shoot him!
01:00:37Shoot him!
01:00:37Shoot him!
01:00:44Whoa!
01:00:46Good shot, dude!
01:00:49He's dead, Peewee?
01:00:50He's dead.
01:00:51That's a big old alligator.
01:00:56We're wrenching it?
01:00:58Yeah, yeah.
01:00:58I don't have him move yet.
01:00:59Don't move.
01:01:01Okay, Peewee.
01:01:06Well, Peewee, luck as luck ran off.
01:01:09He's been getting away from us for years and years.
01:01:12The same alligator right here.
01:01:13If we wouldn't have put fish, I don't think we'd have caught him on chicken.
01:01:18At over 12 feet long, there's no doubt they finally caught their monster.
01:01:24One, two, three.
01:01:26Pull it.
01:01:26Pull it, Pee.
01:01:29Right there.
01:01:29He was lucky because he had took two or three pieces of shad and didn't get caught.
01:01:34But luck as luck finally ran out.
01:01:37He couldn't resist that shad.
01:01:39And I'll always, till the day I die, I'll believe that's why we caught him.
01:01:44I don't think we'd have ever caught him with chicken.
01:01:47Lucky ain't lucky no more.
01:01:49Lucky ain't lucky no more.
01:02:06Over in Franklin.
01:02:07Well, we had a decent alligator season.
01:02:11We surely did.
01:02:13The Edgar family enjoys a rare moment of peace to celebrate the end of another successful hunt.
01:02:20It's times like this that make the hard work worth it.
01:02:23You're right.
01:02:24Spending time together.
01:02:26It's priceless because no one can touch you.
01:02:30I just want the kids and the grandkids to understand that your strength is in your family.
01:02:39That's where your power is when you all look out for each other.
01:02:43If you stand alone, the wind or anyone can knock you over.
01:02:48But when you've got your family and all your support with you, that tree's hard to knock over.
01:02:55Pa, Dad let me drive the airboat.
01:02:57My goodness.
01:03:00Good job, Pa Pa.
01:03:02Yeah.
01:03:03The only bad thing about driving the airboat is no reverse.
01:03:06There's no reverse.
01:03:07Yeah.
01:03:08And you have to remember, it operates different in deep water and shallow water.
01:03:12Yeah.
01:03:13Dad was saying, if you're heavy, don't go down the middle.
01:03:15Get by the bank a little bit.
01:03:17And if you're wide open, don't stop too fast or the water will come over the back.
01:03:23Yeah.
01:03:24But I got pretty good at it.
01:03:26You're doing real good.
01:03:27This year, Callie and I, this is our second year together.
01:03:31Callie's progressed as an alligator hunter and she did all that she could do.
01:03:36I feel that our time this year was special.
01:03:39We had fun.
01:03:40We killed some alligators.
01:03:42And the future is so bright.
01:03:44What a blessing.
01:03:46Cody, Daddy can't say it enough.
01:03:48I'm so proud of you, who you are as a person and definitely a hunter.
01:03:55Thanks, Daddy.
01:03:56I appreciate that.
01:03:57Love you too.
01:03:57I love you.
