1
00:00:14,849 --> 00:00:17,499
As the competition for 350
prime gator tags heats up...
2
00:00:17,593 --> 00:00:20,519
Look at that monster.
Giant.
3
00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:22,354
Veterans target
legendary beasts...
4
00:00:22,581 --> 00:00:23,981
[gunshot]
5
00:00:27,936 --> 00:00:29,028
It has never let us down.
6
00:00:29,179 --> 00:00:30,487
[grunting]
7
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:35,183
While others
set the bar even higher...
8
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:37,427
10 alligators,
10-foot average.
9
00:00:37,521 --> 00:00:39,279
-That's a big average.
-That's the goal.
10
00:00:39,431 --> 00:00:41,689
A new captain aims high...
11
00:00:41,709 --> 00:00:43,191
We got a lot to prove.
12
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:44,785
We gotta do better than the guys
13
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:46,603
To even be respected.
14
00:00:46,622 --> 00:00:48,605
-Oh!
-Hold him, hold him!
15
00:00:48,624 --> 00:00:51,625
Everyone's fighting to prove
once and for all...
16
00:00:51,777 --> 00:00:54,294
You got an assassin
right here waiting.
17
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,870
That's what I'm talking about.
18
00:00:55,964 --> 00:00:57,723
...Which team reigns supreme.
19
00:00:57,950 --> 00:00:59,558
[gunshot]
20
00:00:59,785 --> 00:01:02,227
Hold him, pa.
Don't let him beat you up.
21
00:01:41,936 --> 00:01:45,829
It's the second day
of the battle for swamp gold...
22
00:01:45,922 --> 00:01:47,606
We gotta check the oil
on this thing, too, pa.
23
00:01:47,833 --> 00:01:50,500
...And new teams
are gearing up.
24
00:01:50,594 --> 00:01:52,611
Got some big alligators
out there.
25
00:01:52,838 --> 00:01:54,780
Willie edwards and his son
lead the pack
26
00:01:55,007 --> 00:01:57,357
With an average
of nine feet, nine inches,
27
00:01:57,509 --> 00:02:01,120
While the landrys trail behind
at nine feet, four inches,
28
00:02:01,347 --> 00:02:03,530
And ronnie and ashley
hold third
29
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:05,849
At nine feet, three inches.
30
00:02:05,868 --> 00:02:08,535
But it's the team with
the largest average length
31
00:02:08,687 --> 00:02:09,962
At the end of the season
32
00:02:10,189 --> 00:02:14,550
That'll be awarded
the 350 prime gator tags.
33
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:22,866
As dawn breaks
in butte la rose...
34
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:25,310
We're ready, baby.
Ready for action.
35
00:02:25,462 --> 00:02:29,222
King of the swamp troy landry
gathers his troops.
36
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:30,965
To try to capture the lead,
37
00:02:31,059 --> 00:02:33,318
They're heading to one of
his most reliable honey holes:
38
00:02:33,470 --> 00:02:35,279
Cow island.
39
00:02:40,219 --> 00:02:42,161
Well, we coming out the gate,
pee-wee and I, pretty strong.
40
00:02:42,388 --> 00:02:44,905
Fishing lake verret,
we caught big alligators,
41
00:02:45,057 --> 00:02:47,315
So I'm gonna double down.
42
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:50,060
I'm going from lake verret
straight to cow island,
43
00:02:50,153 --> 00:02:51,819
Where I think
we gonna do so good
44
00:02:51,914 --> 00:02:53,172
That the rest of the hunters
45
00:02:53,399 --> 00:02:55,632
Ain't gonna be able
to catch up with us.
46
00:02:58,420 --> 00:03:00,179
In the past, man,
47
00:03:00,406 --> 00:03:02,255
We pulled 20 to 25 alligators
out of cow island,
48
00:03:02,349 --> 00:03:03,682
And they're all huge.
49
00:03:03,833 --> 00:03:06,259
Cow island
is right along the river.
50
00:03:06,412 --> 00:03:10,580
Some years,
we've had to go in with atvs
51
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:13,007
And pull small boats
over the levee.
52
00:03:13,027 --> 00:03:15,602
And sometimes just was able
to navigate a small canal
53
00:03:15,754 --> 00:03:17,679
That goes, runs up
along the side of it,
54
00:03:17,773 --> 00:03:19,865
And then cross one levee
into it.
55
00:03:24,279 --> 00:03:27,447
We got a major problem.
56
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:28,949
I don't know what to do.
57
00:03:29,043 --> 00:03:30,542
Look how narrow it is.
58
00:03:30,769 --> 00:03:33,954
When we got there,
everything is so silted up
59
00:03:34,106 --> 00:03:35,863
That there's no way
we can actually get in there
60
00:03:35,883 --> 00:03:37,791
By taking that canal.
61
00:03:37,885 --> 00:03:39,626
See it's flat over here.
62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,869
It's real flat and wide,
63
00:03:41,964 --> 00:03:43,972
Which is perfect
for the airboat.
64
00:03:45,559 --> 00:03:47,709
When you get closer
to the river,
65
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:51,212
You see right here,
it's not flat like over there.
66
00:03:51,306 --> 00:03:54,124
It goes from this to that.
67
00:03:54,217 --> 00:03:56,810
That's a problem.
That's a big problem.
68
00:03:56,904 --> 00:03:59,738
The boat's gonna get sideways
and then get stuck.
69
00:03:59,965 --> 00:04:01,798
Then we're gonna have a boat
back here
70
00:04:01,891 --> 00:04:04,243
We ain't gonna
be able to get out.
71
00:04:05,562 --> 00:04:07,204
Come on, let's go.
72
00:04:12,068 --> 00:04:13,568
Figured out
that we couldn't go in
73
00:04:13,662 --> 00:04:15,403
By the slough
where we normally go in,
74
00:04:15,497 --> 00:04:16,646
And we backtracked.
75
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:19,165
This is setting us back
big time.
76
00:04:19,318 --> 00:04:20,817
Right here, I think.
77
00:04:20,836 --> 00:04:23,595
-Get sideways, get up,
-yeah.
78
00:04:23,747 --> 00:04:24,930
-And then over.
-Yeah.
79
00:04:25,157 --> 00:04:28,392
The bank's about
40 something, 50 feet.
80
00:04:31,997 --> 00:04:33,272
Almost like a hill.
81
00:04:33,423 --> 00:04:36,441
And we're gonna get over there
with the airboat.
82
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:05,028
All right, y'all come over here.
Let's have a little meeting.
83
00:05:05,121 --> 00:05:07,364
All right, y'all, listen.
Let's start out strong.
84
00:05:07,457 --> 00:05:09,215
This is the best place
we got to hunt.
85
00:05:09,368 --> 00:05:10,884
Y'all go over there.
86
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:13,703
North. Against them--
it's full of... [indistinct]
87
00:05:13,797 --> 00:05:15,038
That's where
the big ones gonna be.
88
00:05:15,131 --> 00:05:16,982
Let's catch some big ones
while we here.
89
00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:18,725
10-foot average
sounds good to you, don?
90
00:05:18,877 --> 00:05:21,394
10? Oh, let's go 11.
91
00:05:21,547 --> 00:05:25,048
It was 9:00 by the time
we got into cow island,
92
00:05:25,141 --> 00:05:26,641
And we was hoping
to be there at daylight.
93
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:28,827
So we was like three hours late.
94
00:05:29,054 --> 00:05:31,079
Let's go.
95
00:05:32,574 --> 00:05:36,918
The best place in the world
right here, cow island.
96
00:05:50,258 --> 00:05:53,593
35 miles south,
at st. Mary seafood...
97
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:55,428
Hey, dad, zak.
98
00:05:55,522 --> 00:05:58,673
Swamp patriarch daniel edgar
calls together his team
99
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:01,935
To reveal his plan
to win the new tags.
100
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:04,754
Well, it's a new season, fellas,
101
00:06:04,848 --> 00:06:07,257
And, uh, we've got
a lot of work to do.
102
00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:10,777
-There's 350 tags available
-okay.
103
00:06:10,929 --> 00:06:14,873
For whoever's got the highest
average throughout the season.
104
00:06:15,024 --> 00:06:19,786
It's a great opportunity,
get 350 additional tags.
105
00:06:19,938 --> 00:06:24,124
The value for the edgars,
it's very important.
106
00:06:24,276 --> 00:06:25,717
The more tags you have,
107
00:06:25,944 --> 00:06:29,112
The more land you have,
the more opportunities.
108
00:06:29,131 --> 00:06:33,058
So I have to get these guys
on track.
109
00:06:33,209 --> 00:06:37,137
10 alligators, 10-foot average,
that's the goal.
110
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:40,214
A 10-foot average, you're
gonna have to do some sniping
111
00:06:40,308 --> 00:06:42,383
And rod-and-reeling to do that.
112
00:06:42,403 --> 00:06:43,460
That's a big average.
113
00:06:43,478 --> 00:06:44,736
But if we start off on top,
114
00:06:44,888 --> 00:06:46,571
It's easier
than going back down.
115
00:06:46,723 --> 00:06:47,964
True that.
116
00:06:47,983 --> 00:06:51,576
Dad sets the bar high
just to push us.
117
00:06:51,803 --> 00:06:55,247
Ever since we were kids,
he sets the bar high
118
00:06:55,398 --> 00:06:58,475
To give you something
to think about, to try hard.
119
00:06:58,568 --> 00:07:00,477
He's just pushing on us,
that's all.
120
00:07:00,495 --> 00:07:02,236
And we need it.
121
00:07:02,330 --> 00:07:04,423
If we can pull it off, it'll be
something great for all of us.
122
00:07:24,111 --> 00:07:27,237
Line's down, pa.
123
00:07:29,508 --> 00:07:32,200
I don't know how big he is.
124
00:07:46,449 --> 00:07:48,967
Tie it tight, pa.
Tie it to the tree.
125
00:07:49,118 --> 00:07:50,969
All right, good.
126
00:07:51,196 --> 00:07:52,712
-Hey, pa.
-Hold on.
127
00:07:52,864 --> 00:07:54,197
What's it look like?
128
00:07:54,216 --> 00:07:56,224
He broke trees.
129
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:00,461
He feels big.
130
00:08:00,555 --> 00:08:02,397
He's gonna help our average.
131
00:08:04,151 --> 00:08:06,151
-Oh, hey.
-Whoo!
132
00:08:06,378 --> 00:08:07,152
Watch it.
133
00:08:07,379 --> 00:08:09,613
-Oh!
-Oh!
134
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:18,079
He's burning my hands.
135
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:20,999
Whoa!
136
00:08:24,153 --> 00:08:25,337
Hurry, pa!
137
00:08:31,236 --> 00:08:33,136
[gunshot]
138
00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:38,241
-Good shot.
-That takes care
139
00:08:38,260 --> 00:08:39,409
Of that business.
140
00:08:39,427 --> 00:08:41,594
-He burned my hands.
-[laughs]
141
00:08:41,688 --> 00:08:43,671
Oh, he's a 10-footer.
142
00:08:43,765 --> 00:08:46,024
That's a fine alligator
there, son.
143
00:08:46,251 --> 00:08:50,086
This 10-foot beast
is exactly what they need.
144
00:08:50,179 --> 00:08:51,604
[grunting]
145
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:55,775
That's what I'm talking about.
First line, 10-footer.
146
00:08:55,927 --> 00:08:57,427
What a way to start.
147
00:08:57,445 --> 00:08:59,262
But you have to stay focused
148
00:08:59,355 --> 00:09:01,765
Because just one alligator
one day
149
00:09:01,783 --> 00:09:03,542
Is not gonna win this thing.
150
00:09:03,693 --> 00:09:06,795
If the size can stay like that
all day long...
151
00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:28,792
34 miles northeast
in bayou sorrel...
152
00:09:28,885 --> 00:09:30,402
Oh, we in the lead right now.
153
00:09:30,553 --> 00:09:32,462
We're ahead of everything.
154
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,574
Veteran alligator hunter
willie edwards
155
00:09:35,801 --> 00:09:38,243
And his son little willie
are feeling confident.
156
00:09:40,138 --> 00:09:42,972
I've been filling my tags
with treble hooking.
157
00:09:43,066 --> 00:09:44,974
I mean, we been doing
pretty good,
158
00:09:45,068 --> 00:09:47,143
And it's been big
average-size alligators.
159
00:09:47,236 --> 00:09:50,071
And to hunt them strictly
just with treble hooking
160
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:51,815
And just go out there
for the whole season
161
00:09:51,833 --> 00:09:54,092
And just fill 160 tags,
162
00:09:54,243 --> 00:09:56,336
You don't just jump up
and do that.
163
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:59,989
I mean, it takes a lot of
experience to know how to do it.
164
00:10:00,008 --> 00:10:02,842
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
165
00:10:02,994 --> 00:10:06,187
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
166
00:10:08,667 --> 00:10:11,109
All right. Catch him,
catch him, catch him.
167
00:10:22,347 --> 00:10:24,013
-Oh!
-That was an alligator, too.
168
00:10:24,032 --> 00:10:25,123
Yup.
169
00:10:27,535 --> 00:10:29,544
Going that way.
Right here.
170
00:10:35,861 --> 00:10:36,926
Yup.
171
00:10:48,890 --> 00:10:50,390
-Watch it, watch it, watch it.
-He's cutting circles.
172
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:52,067
Ooh, that's a big one.
173
00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:55,469
-Gosh!
-He what?
174
00:10:55,489 --> 00:10:56,880
-Yup, he popped off.
-Damn!
175
00:10:56,898 --> 00:10:58,715
He come up there
and slapped his head.
176
00:10:58,733 --> 00:11:00,216
I had him right in the head.
177
00:11:00,309 --> 00:11:03,069
I see some little bubbles
right out there.
178
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:06,498
Could be him right there
on the outside of the boat.
179
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:13,320
-Good gator.
-Oh, yeah, he's a good gator.
180
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:14,964
Nine, 10-foot.
181
00:11:16,826 --> 00:11:19,010
Pulling him up and everything,
you know,
182
00:11:19,237 --> 00:11:20,995
With him turning
and fighting and everything,
183
00:11:21,014 --> 00:11:22,588
It popped right on off his head.
184
00:11:22,683 --> 00:11:25,499
Yeah, he done felt them hooks,
and he knows what it is now.
185
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,411
And just be a miracle
if we get him again
186
00:11:28,430 --> 00:11:30,355
'cause they don't bubble much
out there.
187
00:11:31,507 --> 00:11:33,583
Damn, man.
188
00:11:33,676 --> 00:11:36,027
It's gone.
189
00:11:50,118 --> 00:11:53,603
Farther south
in pierre part...
190
00:11:53,621 --> 00:11:56,697
We came out here, we're
gonna knock on troy's door.
191
00:11:56,717 --> 00:12:00,034
Dip into some of them monsters
he catches.
192
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:01,794
Bring some back for the team.
193
00:12:01,888 --> 00:12:05,114
After getting off to a third
place start in the marsh,
194
00:12:05,208 --> 00:12:07,951
New captain
ashley "deadeye" jones
195
00:12:07,969 --> 00:12:10,119
And her deckhand anna ribbeck
196
00:12:10,138 --> 00:12:14,307
Have relocated to the cypress
swamp despite ronnie's doubts.
197
00:12:14,459 --> 00:12:16,383
Moving to the swamp
198
00:12:16,403 --> 00:12:19,386
Is gonna be a lot better
atmosphere for anna and I.
199
00:12:19,406 --> 00:12:21,388
Being able to take a break
when you need it,
200
00:12:21,408 --> 00:12:23,891
Just get into the shade
for a few minutes,
201
00:12:23,985 --> 00:12:24,892
That makes a big difference.
202
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:26,803
Also in the swamp,
203
00:12:26,821 --> 00:12:28,913
We're able to just tie lines
like I'm used to doing.
204
00:12:29,065 --> 00:12:30,323
So I think that anna and I
205
00:12:30,475 --> 00:12:32,825
Are gonna be able
to catch bigger gators.
206
00:12:32,978 --> 00:12:35,420
I told ronnie that
I wanted to move to the swamp,
207
00:12:35,571 --> 00:12:37,589
And he just had
a major problem with it,
208
00:12:37,740 --> 00:12:39,665
Which made me wanna do it
even more.
209
00:12:39,818 --> 00:12:41,075
I mean, look at it.
210
00:12:41,094 --> 00:12:42,761
You got troy landry
and all them up there.
211
00:12:42,988 --> 00:12:45,412
They all competing
for the same alligators.
212
00:12:45,507 --> 00:12:46,656
Here, we all by ourselves.
213
00:12:46,674 --> 00:12:48,249
We got the whole marsh
to ourselves.
214
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:49,675
You made me a captain, right?
215
00:12:49,828 --> 00:12:51,177
I did make you a captain.
216
00:12:51,329 --> 00:12:53,396
Let me learn my lesson
the hard way then.
217
00:12:54,682 --> 00:12:55,774
We're here to do our thing.
218
00:12:55,925 --> 00:12:57,424
-That's what I like to hear.
-Let's go.
219
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:59,018
I love the confidence.
220
00:12:59,170 --> 00:13:01,337
Nothing but big gators.
221
00:13:01,356 --> 00:13:04,340
-Straight back?
-Yup, straight back.
222
00:13:04,359 --> 00:13:05,784
I see the line.
223
00:13:06,011 --> 00:13:09,954
It's down and it's on
the backside of that tree.
224
00:13:10,106 --> 00:13:12,106
Oh, ash, ash, line's moving.
It's going that way now.
225
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:16,035
He's moving this line, ashley.
226
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:16,961
He's straight out now.
227
00:13:17,188 --> 00:13:19,255
Here, let me see it.
228
00:13:26,548 --> 00:13:29,057
-Got it?
-Got it.
229
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:35,814
Ooh, ash, watch out!
-Oh, yeah, that's a good one.
230
00:13:36,966 --> 00:13:38,149
-Ooh, look at his head.
-Dang.
231
00:13:38,301 --> 00:13:40,543
-Get the gun, get the gun.
-I got it, I got it.
232
00:13:40,636 --> 00:13:43,071
Oh, yeah, that's a good one,
that's a good one.
233
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,473
Careful.
He's gonna bite the gun.
234
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:47,784
Whoo!
235
00:13:48,736 --> 00:13:50,553
I got you. Pull him up.
236
00:13:50,572 --> 00:13:51,737
Ooh, ash!
237
00:13:51,832 --> 00:13:53,248
-Jeez!
-Good gosh!
238
00:13:58,988 --> 00:14:00,487
-Whoo, he's mad!
-Outside pierre part,
239
00:14:00,507 --> 00:14:02,823
Ashley and anna
are trying to land
240
00:14:02,843 --> 00:14:04,491
Their first gator of the day.
241
00:14:04,586 --> 00:14:05,677
-Come on, gator.
-Whoo!
242
00:14:05,904 --> 00:14:07,637
Don't let him pop that line
on the boat.
243
00:14:10,091 --> 00:14:11,015
I got you. Pull him up.
244
00:14:11,167 --> 00:14:12,350
Good gosh!
245
00:14:14,429 --> 00:14:16,187
[gunshot]
246
00:14:20,752 --> 00:14:21,934
Nice shot, deadeye.
247
00:14:22,028 --> 00:14:23,102
Yeah, thank you.
248
00:14:23,254 --> 00:14:25,029
-Night, night!
-Sleep tight!
249
00:14:25,181 --> 00:14:26,347
-Ready?
-Yup.
250
00:14:26,366 --> 00:14:29,200
One, two, three.
251
00:14:29,352 --> 00:14:31,611
This nine-foot gator
won't hurt their average,
252
00:14:31,763 --> 00:14:33,779
But it'll take bigger ones
than this
253
00:14:33,874 --> 00:14:36,949
To prove leaving the marsh
was the right choice.
254
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:38,768
This is awesome.
255
00:14:38,786 --> 00:14:42,029
Good way to start the day.
Click, click.
256
00:14:42,048 --> 00:14:43,623
I don't wanna just catch gators.
257
00:14:43,775 --> 00:14:47,552
I want to catch the bigger
gators to keep our average up
258
00:14:47,779 --> 00:14:49,220
And to make ronnie and timmy
both proud.
259
00:14:49,372 --> 00:14:52,140
Good night, gator.
260
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:06,571
To the north, on cow island...
261
00:15:06,798 --> 00:15:09,407
Hey, p,
your little gun's loaded?
262
00:15:09,558 --> 00:15:14,137
Troy and pickle are running
lines they set earlier.
263
00:15:14,155 --> 00:15:16,563
I decided we're not gonna depend
just on sniping.
264
00:15:16,583 --> 00:15:18,249
We gonna put some lines also,
265
00:15:18,476 --> 00:15:21,735
You know, like for insurance,
just to make sure.
266
00:15:21,755 --> 00:15:24,238
Coming here,
we hoping the average
267
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:26,315
About nine,
nine-and-a-half foot.
268
00:15:26,409 --> 00:15:28,075
And between the two boats,
269
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:30,670
If we could catch
20, 25 alligators,
270
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:32,013
That would be awesome.
271
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:42,756
Hey, p, we got one on that line.
272
00:15:42,776 --> 00:15:45,610
It looks tight.
273
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:49,781
Grab the pole, p.
274
00:16:00,868 --> 00:16:03,110
Oh, lord, look at that.
275
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:04,854
Ooh, watch him, pee-wee,
watch him. Oh!
276
00:16:04,947 --> 00:16:06,756
Whoo, it's a big one,
it's a big one.
277
00:16:08,951 --> 00:16:11,302
-Shoot!
-Don't panic.
278
00:16:17,218 --> 00:16:18,559
[gunshot]
279
00:16:23,391 --> 00:16:24,315
Oh, pee-wee.
280
00:16:24,467 --> 00:16:26,633
-[laughs]
-good job.
281
00:16:26,653 --> 00:16:29,946
What you talking about,
baby girl?
282
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,883
Eight-foot?
283
00:16:33,901 --> 00:16:36,902
That's not what we came out here
to cow island to kill,
284
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:38,496
But it is what it is.
285
00:16:38,723 --> 00:16:39,813
Yup.
286
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:43,226
We looking for
this one's grandpa.
287
00:16:43,244 --> 00:16:46,245
By the time we got into
cow island, it was 9:00,
288
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:48,989
And we was hoping to be there
at daylight.
289
00:16:49,009 --> 00:16:51,234
All the big ones
were already gone.
290
00:16:51,252 --> 00:16:53,177
Not good.
291
00:16:53,329 --> 00:16:55,162
So, don and jacob,
292
00:16:55,181 --> 00:16:57,831
I hope they got a full boat
of big ones over there.
293
00:16:57,851 --> 00:17:01,519
We gotta do better
than this, pee-wee.
294
00:17:17,779 --> 00:17:22,281
93 miles southeast
in pointe a la hache,
295
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,858
Joey edgar
and his deckhand zak catchem
296
00:17:24,952 --> 00:17:27,545
Chase an ambitious goal
297
00:17:27,696 --> 00:17:29,772
In a vast area
they've never hunted before.
298
00:17:29,791 --> 00:17:33,367
Joey, your dad talking about
a 10-foot average, bro?
299
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:34,719
Daniel wants us to catch
a 10-foot average
300
00:17:34,946 --> 00:17:36,295
With 10 alligators.
301
00:17:36,447 --> 00:17:38,872
I mean, it's not impossible,
302
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:41,542
But we've never hunted
here before
303
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,452
And we gotta find
where they are first.
304
00:17:43,471 --> 00:17:46,547
He's asking a lot of us,
but we need those tags.
305
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,733
This area that we hunting today,
306
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,477
We really have
high expectations.
307
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:54,221
It's a spot that has not
been hunted in seven years.
308
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,408
It's private land
that's well-managed.
309
00:18:02,064 --> 00:18:04,415
Our first line
was like right here.
310
00:18:04,642 --> 00:18:06,976
It's right there.
Oh, I think he's on, too.
311
00:18:07,069 --> 00:18:09,495
Look at that white rope
stretched out.
312
00:18:09,647 --> 00:18:12,090
Hello. Anybody home?
313
00:18:16,671 --> 00:18:18,429
Oh, yeah.
314
00:18:23,419 --> 00:18:25,103
He's nice.
315
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:29,190
Get your gun.
316
00:18:32,353 --> 00:18:33,694
This one's awake.
317
00:18:37,842 --> 00:18:39,283
God.
318
00:18:41,770 --> 00:18:42,787
Gotta get him, zak.
319
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:45,623
Come on.
320
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:49,352
Pass him one.
321
00:18:49,370 --> 00:18:50,920
[gunshot]
322
00:18:56,361 --> 00:18:58,803
We ain't doing nothin'
right here, bubba.
323
00:19:00,531 --> 00:19:03,032
Catching an eight just means
we have to catch a 12, bubba.
324
00:19:03,050 --> 00:19:05,309
I'm a little bit worried
about this year.
325
00:19:05,536 --> 00:19:08,220
10-foot average
with 10, 12 alligators,
326
00:19:08,373 --> 00:19:09,796
That's gonna be hard to do.
327
00:19:09,891 --> 00:19:11,374
Let's look at this map.
328
00:19:11,392 --> 00:19:15,227
I got 4,000 acres
and a bunch of tags.
329
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:16,821
I just hope they biting.
330
00:19:17,048 --> 00:19:19,715
-Yeah, man.
-This spot is not real deep.
331
00:19:19,734 --> 00:19:21,325
-How about right here?
-Damn, that look good.
332
00:19:21,477 --> 00:19:24,236
Yeah. You think we could
even get back there, pop?
333
00:19:24,389 --> 00:19:25,812
Yeah, we can get back there.
334
00:19:25,907 --> 00:19:28,057
We gonna give it 100%.
That's what daddy's expecting.
335
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:31,502
-Yeah.
-He ain't expecting us to fail.
336
00:19:41,014 --> 00:19:45,266
140 miles northwest
in bayou sorrel...
337
00:19:48,095 --> 00:19:49,745
Willie and little willie
338
00:19:49,764 --> 00:19:52,081
Are trying to shake off
an earlier miss
339
00:19:52,099 --> 00:19:54,358
And get back on track.
340
00:19:54,510 --> 00:19:56,677
A little disappointed there
we missed that alligator,
341
00:19:56,771 --> 00:19:58,087
But you gotta keep going.
342
00:19:58,105 --> 00:19:59,197
You gotta keep
your head in the game.
343
00:19:59,348 --> 00:20:00,756
And if you catch big ones,
344
00:20:00,775 --> 00:20:02,849
You're gonna be
in the competition for sure.
345
00:20:02,944 --> 00:20:05,036
Right there, right there.
346
00:20:15,197 --> 00:20:17,030
He's right here. See them
bubbles here popping up?
347
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:19,608
He's on this side, you gotta--
yeah, yeah. Too far.
348
00:20:19,702 --> 00:20:21,552
But you should be able
to get him right there.
349
00:20:26,451 --> 00:20:27,541
Ain't nothin' there.
350
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,976
Yeah, they got
an alligator there.
351
00:21:01,410 --> 00:21:03,152
In bayou sorrel...
352
00:21:03,245 --> 00:21:05,154
[gunshot]
you hit him?
353
00:21:05,172 --> 00:21:09,850
Willie edwards isn't sure
his shot hit the mark.
354
00:21:15,349 --> 00:21:17,441
That's what I think it did.
355
00:21:21,689 --> 00:21:23,197
I got it.
356
00:21:24,008 --> 00:21:26,358
Go this way, this way.
357
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:28,119
See? Over here.
358
00:21:40,691 --> 00:21:44,468
-You got him?
-Yeah, I got him. I got him.
359
00:21:49,216 --> 00:21:50,474
-Damn!
-Gotta hurry.
360
00:21:50,701 --> 00:21:51,726
Yup.
361
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,338
Throw him in there.
362
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:24,416
I thought that gator
was bigger than that.
363
00:22:24,569 --> 00:22:26,735
This six-footer is not good,
364
00:22:26,754 --> 00:22:28,571
And it could cost them
their lead.
365
00:22:28,589 --> 00:22:30,514
It's real frustrating.
Me and my dad,
366
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:33,909
We're about the best crew
on treble hooking out there,
367
00:22:33,928 --> 00:22:35,186
And six, seven-footers,
368
00:22:35,413 --> 00:22:37,096
I mean, we don't wanna fill
the tags with that.
369
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:40,173
Yeah, I thought he was just
a little bit bigger than that.
370
00:22:40,267 --> 00:22:42,443
Get on to the next one.
371
00:22:54,374 --> 00:22:56,022
Back in pierre part,
372
00:22:56,042 --> 00:22:59,710
After ashley gambled
on relocating from the marsh,
373
00:22:59,862 --> 00:23:03,455
She's trying to build
on their early success.
374
00:23:03,549 --> 00:23:05,958
I think this strategy,
I mean, it's gonna pay off.
375
00:23:06,110 --> 00:23:07,292
Like, today is our day.
376
00:23:07,387 --> 00:23:08,777
I'm telling you.
377
00:23:08,871 --> 00:23:11,113
Like, we have got
to prove ourselves.
378
00:23:11,206 --> 00:23:12,539
I'm really hoping
that anna and I
379
00:23:12,558 --> 00:23:14,058
Can get some big gators
in the boat.
380
00:23:14,285 --> 00:23:16,060
Because we're gonna
have to pull up at the buyer
381
00:23:16,287 --> 00:23:17,878
And answer for everything
that we did today
382
00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:20,064
And each gator that we caught.
383
00:23:24,237 --> 00:23:26,478
There's gotta be a big gator
on this line.
384
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:28,388
You see how he tore
all those limbs and stuff down?
385
00:23:28,482 --> 00:23:30,557
Yeah, I see that.
386
00:23:30,651 --> 00:23:33,327
Grab that line soon as you can.
387
00:23:36,641 --> 00:23:37,581
Oh.
388
00:23:37,733 --> 00:23:39,333
Okay, there you go.
389
00:23:40,828 --> 00:23:43,162
See what's on it.
390
00:23:43,256 --> 00:23:45,238
How's it feel?
391
00:23:45,258 --> 00:23:47,925
I don't feel
anything pulling yet.
392
00:23:51,489 --> 00:23:53,413
Oh, ashley, I just saw his nose.
Get the gun.
393
00:23:53,507 --> 00:23:54,723
I did, too, I did, too.
394
00:24:00,088 --> 00:24:01,856
All right, you ready?
395
00:24:09,173 --> 00:24:12,616
-Dude, that's a big gator.
-Whoa!
396
00:24:14,454 --> 00:24:15,703
Here, hold this.
397
00:24:21,610 --> 00:24:24,420
Take your time
and get a good shot.
398
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:28,132
All right, you ready?
399
00:24:39,795 --> 00:24:42,371
Good job, good job.
400
00:24:42,389 --> 00:24:44,130
Good job.
401
00:24:44,225 --> 00:24:46,225
-Night, night!
-Sleep tight!
402
00:24:46,377 --> 00:24:48,393
Okay, on the count of three.
403
00:24:48,488 --> 00:24:49,820
Ready?
404
00:24:49,972 --> 00:24:53,215
One, two, three.
405
00:24:53,234 --> 00:24:55,734
Try to grab him
right here on that back leg
406
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:57,069
Once you get it up a little bit.
407
00:24:57,163 --> 00:24:58,478
There you go.
408
00:24:58,498 --> 00:25:01,073
Watch yourself.
We got him.
409
00:25:01,225 --> 00:25:02,558
This 10-and-a-half footer
410
00:25:02,576 --> 00:25:05,561
Should help them
climb out of third place.
411
00:25:05,654 --> 00:25:07,730
It also boosts
ashley's confidence
412
00:25:07,748 --> 00:25:09,898
About her decision
to move to the swamp.
413
00:25:09,917 --> 00:25:11,992
Whoo! That's a big gator!
414
00:25:12,086 --> 00:25:14,345
-That's huge!
-Yes!
415
00:25:14,496 --> 00:25:15,921
What'd I tell you?
416
00:25:16,073 --> 00:25:18,240
Bigger gators out here.
417
00:25:18,259 --> 00:25:19,742
I know I made
the right choice now.
418
00:25:19,835 --> 00:25:22,761
Not only are we doing it,
but we're kicking ass.
419
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:25,022
I'm really proud of my decision.
420
00:25:25,173 --> 00:25:26,582
It's a huge relief.
421
00:25:26,675 --> 00:25:28,341
Do you see
how big this thing is?
422
00:25:28,361 --> 00:25:32,363
Like, look at my hand
compared to its.
423
00:25:32,514 --> 00:25:34,923
Y'all wear
the same size shoe, huh?
424
00:25:34,942 --> 00:25:36,200
I'm so proud of this one.
425
00:25:38,353 --> 00:25:40,871
We ain't gonna have our tails
tucked at the buyer today.
426
00:25:41,023 --> 00:25:43,023
Heck, no.
Double a strikes again.
427
00:25:43,042 --> 00:25:44,500
That's right.
428
00:25:46,045 --> 00:25:47,953
Yeah.
429
00:25:48,105 --> 00:25:49,880
First day, new area,
430
00:25:50,107 --> 00:25:51,197
Nothing but big boys
in the boat.
431
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:53,300
I like this.
Let's keep it up.
432
00:26:12,479 --> 00:26:14,630
23 miles southwest...
433
00:26:14,648 --> 00:26:18,075
These lines just continue
to catch alligators.
434
00:26:18,302 --> 00:26:21,078
So far, daniel and dorien
have been able to meet
435
00:26:21,305 --> 00:26:24,064
Their lofty goal
of a 10-foot average.
436
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:26,658
Our average
is holding on pretty good.
437
00:26:26,811 --> 00:26:28,586
They're all over 10.
438
00:26:48,924 --> 00:26:51,775
That's a basin bully.
439
00:26:51,927 --> 00:26:53,110
Could be another one.
440
00:26:53,337 --> 00:26:54,853
He's heavy.
441
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:56,238
Watch yourself.
442
00:26:59,510 --> 00:27:01,510
Hold him, pa.
Hold him, pa.
443
00:27:01,603 --> 00:27:02,694
Don't let him beat you up.
444
00:27:02,788 --> 00:27:05,289
He's a giant.
445
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,791
Whoa, whoa!
446
00:27:09,353 --> 00:27:11,795
Give me a shot on him.
447
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:16,300
Give me a shot on this thing.
448
00:27:20,547 --> 00:27:22,890
He's a heavy alligator.
449
00:27:24,126 --> 00:27:26,143
Straight pull.
450
00:27:30,875 --> 00:27:32,057
Straining you a little bit?
451
00:27:32,209 --> 00:27:33,651
Oh, he's beating me up.
452
00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:37,112
Take him, pa.
453
00:27:40,234 --> 00:27:42,576
[gunshot]
454
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:48,148
What a giant.
455
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:49,333
Good. [laughs]
456
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,668
-That's a big one.
-What a giant.
457
00:27:50,819 --> 00:27:53,061
We killing bulls
and kissing babies.
458
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,397
Now we're gonna
have to go up with him, pa.
459
00:27:55,490 --> 00:27:57,341
Tell me when you're ready.
Straight up.
460
00:27:57,568 --> 00:27:59,843
Three! Whew.
461
00:27:59,995 --> 00:28:01,345
[grunting]
462
00:28:02,573 --> 00:28:04,756
Give it everything you got.
463
00:28:04,909 --> 00:28:06,934
Everything you got.
464
00:28:09,079 --> 00:28:10,670
It's a good one, pa.
465
00:28:10,764 --> 00:28:12,414
With another monster
in the boat,
466
00:28:12,433 --> 00:28:14,599
Daniel's putting his family
in position
467
00:28:14,752 --> 00:28:16,601
To move into first place.
468
00:28:16,696 --> 00:28:19,846
They just get bigger and bigger
on this river, pa.
469
00:28:19,865 --> 00:28:23,258
It's gonna be
really, really hard
470
00:28:23,277 --> 00:28:27,538
For anyone to beat
a 10-foot average.
471
00:28:29,266 --> 00:28:31,709
We need five more this size.
472
00:28:43,038 --> 00:28:44,796
Back on cow island,
473
00:28:44,949 --> 00:28:48,300
Jacob landry
and his deckhand don brewer
474
00:28:48,394 --> 00:28:50,710
Are searching for big gators
to snipe,
475
00:28:50,730 --> 00:28:53,213
But so far, they have nothing.
476
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:55,399
You wanna cut across
and get back into the big water?
477
00:28:55,550 --> 00:28:56,975
Whatever you think.
478
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:58,402
You wanna get in here
and look over in here some?
479
00:28:58,629 --> 00:28:59,737
It's all grass now.
480
00:28:59,888 --> 00:29:01,129
You know,
it took us a lot longer
481
00:29:01,148 --> 00:29:03,298
To get into cow island
than expected.
482
00:29:03,317 --> 00:29:04,908
Put us probably
a good hour and half
483
00:29:05,135 --> 00:29:06,318
To two hours later,
484
00:29:06,470 --> 00:29:07,970
And by then the sun was up.
485
00:29:08,063 --> 00:29:10,247
These big, big alligators
aren't roaming around
486
00:29:10,398 --> 00:29:12,324
Like we wanted
to see them doing,
487
00:29:12,418 --> 00:29:15,401
And it doesn't look like
the same cow island
488
00:29:15,496 --> 00:29:17,403
That we've been to
in the years past.
489
00:29:17,498 --> 00:29:20,907
We trying to get on big gators,
but we just not seeing anything.
490
00:29:20,926 --> 00:29:22,742
Man, it's terrible this year.
491
00:29:22,762 --> 00:29:24,336
I don't know what's the deal.
492
00:29:24,488 --> 00:29:27,580
Jacob, right there.
See him?
493
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,916
See that biggest stump
over there?
494
00:29:29,935 --> 00:29:33,187
To the right of it
about 30 yards.
495
00:29:35,441 --> 00:29:37,691
Smoke his ass.
496
00:29:56,778 --> 00:29:58,186
Take the shot.
497
00:29:58,205 --> 00:30:00,130
[gunshot]
498
00:30:04,695 --> 00:30:07,304
In the lake on cow island...
499
00:30:07,531 --> 00:30:10,032
Jacob and don
have a gator in their sights.
500
00:30:10,050 --> 00:30:11,809
Take the shot.
[gunshot]
501
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,478
Oh, we got something.
502
00:30:23,805 --> 00:30:25,047
You see him?
503
00:30:25,065 --> 00:30:26,990
Oh, look, he just swelled
right here.
504
00:30:37,670 --> 00:30:41,079
See them bubbles?
Get the gun.
505
00:30:41,231 --> 00:30:42,339
Oh, man.
506
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:52,015
I got him, I got him.
Oh, yeah.
507
00:30:56,355 --> 00:30:57,855
I barely got him.
508
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:01,525
Go ahead, right there.
509
00:31:11,929 --> 00:31:14,371
Whoo! Man, I'm glad
he stayed where he did.
510
00:31:14,598 --> 00:31:18,208
Son of a gun.
I don't understand that.
511
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,879
This beast is what the hunters
expect from cow island,
512
00:31:22,106 --> 00:31:27,442
But after three hours,
it's their only gator.
513
00:31:27,535 --> 00:31:29,553
You know,
this alligator is huge.
514
00:31:29,780 --> 00:31:31,947
I know for sure
he's over 11 foot long,
515
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,298
And he's gonna help our average.
516
00:31:33,450 --> 00:31:35,450
But at the same time,
I'm a little worried
517
00:31:35,469 --> 00:31:37,394
Because we so late
we're not gonna have
518
00:31:37,621 --> 00:31:39,955
So many big alligators like this
to go after.
519
00:31:40,048 --> 00:31:43,567
I'll take it, I'll take it.
520
00:31:53,913 --> 00:31:57,063
Meanwhile, near pierre part,
521
00:31:57,082 --> 00:31:59,491
Ashley and anna are riding high
522
00:31:59,643 --> 00:32:03,145
After catching monster gators
in their new hunting grounds.
523
00:32:03,163 --> 00:32:05,923
Boat's wanting to lean that way
with these big old gators there.
524
00:32:06,150 --> 00:32:08,333
Yeah, it is. I might
have to change sides.
525
00:32:08,427 --> 00:32:10,928
We'll put the next couple ones
on this side
526
00:32:11,079 --> 00:32:12,170
So we can stay balanced.
527
00:32:12,322 --> 00:32:14,506
Okay.
528
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,582
We pulled up all of our lines
in the marsh.
529
00:32:16,602 --> 00:32:19,844
We completely relocated
to a new area.
530
00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:23,106
And it was my first big decision
being a captain,
531
00:32:23,258 --> 00:32:25,692
And we've caught nothing
but monster gators so far.
532
00:32:28,355 --> 00:32:31,448
Oh, man, I put you
right on top of it, didn't I?
533
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:36,787
How's it feel?
534
00:32:36,938 --> 00:32:39,347
Let's see.
Oh, there's a gator.
535
00:32:39,366 --> 00:32:40,532
Get the gun, get the gun.
536
00:32:40,684 --> 00:32:41,774
Is it good? Is it good?
537
00:32:41,794 --> 00:32:43,460
It's a good gator,
it's a good gator.
538
00:32:43,687 --> 00:32:46,630
You got enough slack
to fight him?
539
00:32:48,525 --> 00:32:50,116
Hold this right here.
He's stuck.
540
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:52,785
-Too bad he won't untie himself.
-What's he stuck on?
541
00:32:52,879 --> 00:32:55,455
Just like this is what it
looks like, but underwater.
542
00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:56,640
-Damn!
-Grab that hook
543
00:32:56,867 --> 00:32:58,475
-Mm-hmm.
-And do just like I showed you
544
00:32:58,702 --> 00:33:01,311
Where you get it on there
and twist.
545
00:33:04,299 --> 00:33:05,465
-Yes.
-Did you feel him?
546
00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:07,467
Yeah, I got something.
I got something.
547
00:33:07,486 --> 00:33:08,468
I think I'm right there
at his mouth.
548
00:33:08,562 --> 00:33:09,736
-Oh, god.
-Yup.
549
00:33:11,639 --> 00:33:13,806
-Whoa!
-Oh!
550
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:16,410
Hold him, hold him.
551
00:33:18,555 --> 00:33:19,812
Get ready, get ready.
552
00:33:19,832 --> 00:33:22,165
Give me a shot, give me a shot.
553
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:24,392
He's trying to pop it.
554
00:33:24,411 --> 00:33:26,169
There you go.
There you go. Perfect.
555
00:33:33,237 --> 00:33:36,013
That's a tough animal
right there.
556
00:33:42,688 --> 00:33:46,581
This seven-footer
cools off their hot streak.
557
00:33:46,674 --> 00:33:49,434
I think we jinxed ourselves.
558
00:33:49,586 --> 00:33:51,253
-Yeah.
-We got too excited.
559
00:33:51,271 --> 00:33:53,513
Yup.
560
00:33:53,607 --> 00:33:55,273
You superstitious?
561
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:56,516
A little bit.
562
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:57,517
I'm very bit.
563
00:33:57,611 --> 00:33:59,444
-Are you?
-Yes.
564
00:33:59,596 --> 00:34:02,039
So we're not gonna talk about
little gators or big gators.
565
00:34:02,190 --> 00:34:04,708
Don't ever say you're doing
a good job out here.
566
00:34:04,859 --> 00:34:06,284
Okay. Keep it quiet.
567
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:08,436
I'll tell you in the afternoon
if you did.
568
00:34:08,455 --> 00:34:10,530
But don't do it
while we're out here.
569
00:34:10,624 --> 00:34:13,032
The next thing you know,
you're hitting a cypress stump.
570
00:34:13,052 --> 00:34:16,035
I hate to talk about
how well I'm doing in anything.
571
00:34:16,055 --> 00:34:18,463
Because the minute that
you think you're doing good,
572
00:34:18,557 --> 00:34:20,799
Things can turn so fast.
573
00:34:20,951 --> 00:34:24,119
I'm superstitious
and anna's superstitious,
574
00:34:24,212 --> 00:34:26,621
So we're super superstitious.
575
00:34:26,714 --> 00:34:30,901
All right,
see what else we got.
576
00:34:33,555 --> 00:34:36,073
Okay, I wanna say something,
but I ain't gonna say it
577
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:38,057
Because I'm trying
not to mess up my juju.
578
00:34:38,077 --> 00:34:40,318
Don't say it, man, don't say it.
579
00:34:40,412 --> 00:34:42,395
All right, let's shake off
these little gators.
580
00:34:42,489 --> 00:34:44,915
Ugh. Shake 'em off.
581
00:35:00,324 --> 00:35:05,510
130 miles west
in pointe a la hache,
582
00:35:05,662 --> 00:35:07,104
After struggling earlier,
583
00:35:07,331 --> 00:35:10,165
Joey and zak have moved
into deeper water
584
00:35:10,258 --> 00:35:13,001
Preferred by the big gators.
585
00:35:13,019 --> 00:35:14,778
That rod and reel
and that treble hook,
586
00:35:15,005 --> 00:35:16,688
-That's one way of getting it.
-Yeah.
587
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,341
Anytime we come up on a big one,
we gonna make him pay, bubba.
588
00:35:19,434 --> 00:35:20,951
-Yes, sir.
-We need 'em.
589
00:35:21,178 --> 00:35:23,345
You got an assassin
right here waiting.
590
00:35:23,438 --> 00:35:24,362
That's what I'm talking about.
591
00:35:24,514 --> 00:35:26,014
Whatever we see, we gonna get.
592
00:35:26,032 --> 00:35:28,183
So far, we have
an eight-foot average,
593
00:35:28,201 --> 00:35:30,034
But I'm looking
for a 10-foot average.
594
00:35:30,129 --> 00:35:32,963
And anytime in the past
we found deep water,
595
00:35:33,114 --> 00:35:34,522
It really paid off.
596
00:35:34,541 --> 00:35:37,192
Alligators, big alligators
live in deep water.
597
00:35:37,285 --> 00:35:39,027
That's where the bulls stay.
598
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,529
Pop, pop, big one,
right here.
599
00:35:41,623 --> 00:35:43,531
Big one. Come on, come on.
600
00:35:43,550 --> 00:35:46,810
-See him? Straight ahead?
-Yeah, yeah.
601
00:35:46,961 --> 00:35:48,887
He's big.
He's not scared of us.
602
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:50,480
Look at him cruising.
603
00:35:53,377 --> 00:35:54,726
I might be able to hit him
from here.
604
00:35:54,878 --> 00:35:57,896
Hold on, stop, stop, stop.
Just kill it.
605
00:35:57,990 --> 00:36:00,323
60 yards, come on, baby.
606
00:36:05,146 --> 00:36:07,497
That's it.
Oh, please.
607
00:36:07,649 --> 00:36:08,999
He's gonna
swim into it. Watch.
608
00:36:09,226 --> 00:36:10,742
Watch, pop,
he's gonna swim into it.
609
00:36:10,894 --> 00:36:12,335
I think you got him.
I think you got him.
610
00:36:12,562 --> 00:36:15,255
Give him a minute,
give him a minute.
611
00:36:19,069 --> 00:36:20,660
Here we go, here we go.
612
00:36:20,754 --> 00:36:21,903
There you go.
There you go.
613
00:36:21,996 --> 00:36:23,738
Get your butt back here, boy.
614
00:36:23,831 --> 00:36:26,257
Go on, pa,
you gotta chase him.
615
00:36:26,410 --> 00:36:27,684
[laughs] how about that?
616
00:36:27,835 --> 00:36:29,077
That's a good one.
617
00:36:29,170 --> 00:36:30,428
I don't want him
to go under those lilies.
618
00:36:30,522 --> 00:36:31,521
Oh, yeah.
619
00:36:31,673 --> 00:36:33,190
Let me cut him off.
620
00:36:36,436 --> 00:36:37,343
No!
621
00:36:37,362 --> 00:36:38,770
That's why I wanted to get him.
622
00:36:38,922 --> 00:36:41,198
Yeah.
623
00:36:41,425 --> 00:36:42,440
If we can just get him
out in open water.
624
00:36:42,534 --> 00:36:44,034
I got him.
625
00:36:44,185 --> 00:36:46,369
Just get him out of there.
Try to get him out of there.
626
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:50,874
Watch out, pop. Whoa.
627
00:36:51,101 --> 00:36:53,710
We're good, we're good.
He's out of the lilies.
628
00:36:57,716 --> 00:36:59,198
Nice.
629
00:36:59,218 --> 00:37:01,384
There he is.
Look, by the tail, pop.
630
00:37:01,611 --> 00:37:02,969
Right here.
631
00:37:05,782 --> 00:37:07,131
Oh!
632
00:37:07,226 --> 00:37:08,725
All right.
633
00:37:08,952 --> 00:37:10,393
Got him?
634
00:37:11,805 --> 00:37:13,788
Oh, god. Oh.
635
00:37:13,807 --> 00:37:16,641
Hold on. Oh!
636
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:18,568
I got him.
637
00:37:23,650 --> 00:37:25,909
-Come on.
-Zak, shoot him.
638
00:37:36,404 --> 00:37:37,495
Oh, he's hit.
639
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:39,756
Good job.
640
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:42,984
Dang, you got him good
with that hook.
641
00:37:43,003 --> 00:37:44,410
-You all right?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
642
00:37:44,429 --> 00:37:45,987
He felt it.
You just gotta help me.
643
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,430
-We gonna roll him.
-All right.
644
00:37:47,657 --> 00:37:51,159
This 10-footer puts joey
and zak back in the game
645
00:37:51,177 --> 00:37:54,604
And could move the edgars up
in the competition.
646
00:37:54,831 --> 00:37:56,164
Zak, you doing good
with that rod.
647
00:37:56,257 --> 00:37:57,757
The gators
don't stand a chance, bubba.
648
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,851
I'll take it.
649
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:01,945
It feels great to catch a giant
alligator on rod and reel.
650
00:38:02,172 --> 00:38:04,355
It kinda, you know,
it knocks the rust off
651
00:38:04,508 --> 00:38:06,524
And now I feel like, okay,
we're hunting.
652
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,360
We're out here
and we're doing things right.
653
00:38:09,513 --> 00:38:11,621
We get a couple more like this
in the boat,
654
00:38:11,848 --> 00:38:13,456
We're gonna push our average
way up.
655
00:38:13,608 --> 00:38:15,199
That deep water's
paying off, huh?
656
00:38:15,294 --> 00:38:17,368
-Big time, big time.
-That's what I'm talking about.
657
00:38:17,462 --> 00:38:19,203
That rod and reel
and that treble hook, baby,
658
00:38:19,356 --> 00:38:20,855
That's a deadly combination.
659
00:38:20,948 --> 00:38:23,191
Yes, sir. That'll get us up
660
00:38:23,209 --> 00:38:24,876
To, you know, close
to a nine-foot average.
661
00:38:25,028 --> 00:38:26,452
But to get that 10-foot,
662
00:38:26,471 --> 00:38:28,046
We're gonna have to stack
some big ones in the boat.
663
00:38:28,140 --> 00:38:29,455
Yeah, we gotta catch
a couple more big ones.
664
00:38:29,474 --> 00:38:31,808
Yeah. All right.
665
00:38:47,567 --> 00:38:49,217
25 miles southwest...
666
00:38:49,310 --> 00:38:50,976
I think that's an alligator.
667
00:38:51,071 --> 00:38:54,072
No, no, that's not one.
668
00:38:54,166 --> 00:38:56,391
Daniel and dorien
are right on the edge
669
00:38:56,484 --> 00:38:58,651
Of their 10-foot average.
670
00:38:58,670 --> 00:39:01,487
You know, started out the day,
I was doing real good,
671
00:39:01,581 --> 00:39:04,323
Catching some mega alligators,
feeling real positive.
672
00:39:04,343 --> 00:39:07,844
Right now, I think we're
a little better than 10 feet.
673
00:39:07,995 --> 00:39:10,680
Look at that monster.
674
00:39:10,907 --> 00:39:12,757
Oh, my god.
675
00:39:12,909 --> 00:39:14,926
Giant.
676
00:39:15,078 --> 00:39:17,771
Grab your rifle, pa.
677
00:39:21,843 --> 00:39:22,917
There's two of them.
678
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:24,268
Yeah, that one's the biggest.
679
00:39:24,421 --> 00:39:26,696
He's a real good one,
the one on the left.
680
00:39:30,110 --> 00:39:31,275
He just went down.
681
00:39:31,428 --> 00:39:35,372
Watch his bubbles, pa.
Watch his bubbles.
682
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:37,356
Look straight
in front of the boat.
683
00:39:37,376 --> 00:39:39,358
-In the shade?
-In the shade.
684
00:39:39,452 --> 00:39:42,045
Oh, I could bust his ass.
685
00:39:43,715 --> 00:39:44,881
Is that the second one
or that's the big one?
686
00:39:45,108 --> 00:39:48,051
I can't tell.
I'm gonna shoot him.
687
00:39:56,210 --> 00:39:58,043
-Outside franklin...
-Is that the second one
688
00:39:58,063 --> 00:40:00,121
-Or that's the big one?
-I can't tell.
689
00:40:00,214 --> 00:40:02,381
Ready to take a shot...
[gunshot]
690
00:40:02,475 --> 00:40:05,068
Dorien hits the mark.
691
00:40:05,219 --> 00:40:08,405
-You think you hit him, pa?
-Oh, yeah.
692
00:40:08,556 --> 00:40:09,889
Hurry, get your hook.
693
00:40:09,908 --> 00:40:11,866
Get your hook, pa.
694
00:40:30,578 --> 00:40:33,154
That's neither one of 'em.
695
00:40:33,173 --> 00:40:37,158
That's a different one,
completely different.
696
00:40:37,251 --> 00:40:39,251
That's not the one we want.
697
00:40:39,271 --> 00:40:42,439
It's not looking good
for us, papa.
698
00:40:42,590 --> 00:40:46,017
Dorien's hasty shot
has cost the hunters.
699
00:40:46,169 --> 00:40:48,278
This seven-footer
drops their average
700
00:40:48,505 --> 00:40:51,597
Well below
daniel's goal of 10 feet.
701
00:40:51,691 --> 00:40:54,284
There's two big ones here.
702
00:40:54,435 --> 00:40:55,952
Things happen, you know,
703
00:40:56,179 --> 00:40:58,179
Because you have to work
twice as hard
704
00:40:58,198 --> 00:41:01,624
To make up for that three
or four foot you lost.
705
00:41:01,776 --> 00:41:04,852
But that's what happens
in nature.
706
00:41:04,871 --> 00:41:07,780
Sometimes she gives you things
you don't want,
707
00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:10,115
And you just have to take it
and move forward
708
00:41:10,135 --> 00:41:11,468
And keep working hard.
709
00:41:11,619 --> 00:41:14,696
I'm going back,
look for one of the big ones.
710
00:41:14,789 --> 00:41:17,140
Man, I hope we get another shot.
711
00:41:34,809 --> 00:41:36,141
Back at cow island,
712
00:41:36,161 --> 00:41:38,995
Troy and pickle's
legendary honey hole
713
00:41:39,146 --> 00:41:41,055
Has been
a major disappointment.
714
00:41:41,074 --> 00:41:45,893
I don't wanna give up, p,
but not doing nothin'.
715
00:41:45,987 --> 00:41:48,004
You know,
we come into cow island,
716
00:41:48,231 --> 00:41:52,416
And this place has always
been good for us. Always.
717
00:41:52,569 --> 00:41:54,010
It's just a big letdown
718
00:41:54,161 --> 00:41:56,679
If you don't come out of there
with at least 20 alligators.
719
00:41:56,831 --> 00:42:00,016
Pee-wee, is that
an alligator head
720
00:42:00,167 --> 00:42:02,593
Under that little tree
over there?
721
00:42:02,746 --> 00:42:04,503
Underneath that little tree
right there.
722
00:42:04,523 --> 00:42:06,581
Yeah.
723
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:08,149
Yeah, it is.
724
00:42:11,679 --> 00:42:13,012
He's dead?
725
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:14,531
I don't know.
726
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,503
He'll pop the line.
Shoot him.
727
00:42:30,364 --> 00:42:31,506
Shoot him!
728
00:42:33,552 --> 00:42:35,868
Whoo, it's a big one.
It's a monster.
729
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:37,703
He's gonna pop the line.
730
00:42:37,797 --> 00:42:39,889
Shoot him, pee-wee.
731
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:42,892
[gunshot]
732
00:42:48,233 --> 00:42:50,215
[laughs]
733
00:42:50,235 --> 00:42:51,884
That was a good shot.
734
00:42:51,978 --> 00:42:55,071
What you're talking about?
735
00:42:57,817 --> 00:42:59,817
Okay, p, I'm not ready.
736
00:42:59,911 --> 00:43:02,486
One, two, three.
737
00:43:02,639 --> 00:43:04,747
Oh, pee-wee, go.
One, two, three.
738
00:43:04,974 --> 00:43:09,644
Holy smokes,
that's a big alligator.
739
00:43:09,662 --> 00:43:12,088
This 11-foot giant
is the biggest of the day,
740
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,758
But they've only caught four
gators so far on their lines.
741
00:43:15,985 --> 00:43:20,079
The problem is
they're out of lines.
742
00:43:20,098 --> 00:43:22,748
We put about 20 lines out
on cow island.
743
00:43:22,767 --> 00:43:25,101
We caught a couple of
alligators, but not a whole lot.
744
00:43:25,328 --> 00:43:27,770
So now we need
to try to snipe a few.
745
00:43:27,997 --> 00:43:32,108
It's about time your insurance
came through, huh?
746
00:43:47,626 --> 00:43:49,033
In bayou sorrel,
747
00:43:49,127 --> 00:43:53,112
Little willie has brought
a treat for his dad.
748
00:43:53,131 --> 00:43:55,373
I got you something I bought you
to try this morning.
749
00:43:55,467 --> 00:43:56,448
What you got?
750
00:43:56,468 --> 00:43:58,134
Some tornados.
751
00:43:58,361 --> 00:44:01,212
Tornado? What in the world
is a tornado?
752
00:44:01,306 --> 00:44:04,123
I mean, only tornado
I ever heard of is a bad storm.
753
00:44:04,217 --> 00:44:07,644
It's kind of like a dough.
754
00:44:07,795 --> 00:44:09,553
They taste like a pizza.
755
00:44:09,706 --> 00:44:12,482
Like, they got 'em with sausage
and egg or bacon and egg,
756
00:44:12,633 --> 00:44:17,136
French toast kind,
pepperoni kind.
757
00:44:17,155 --> 00:44:19,547
I mean, that's hard as a rock.
758
00:44:19,565 --> 00:44:22,492
They're cold with the wind,
but try it.
759
00:44:25,146 --> 00:44:26,387
Like a ravioli thing,
760
00:44:26,406 --> 00:44:28,556
Like spaghetti sauce
and stuff like that.
761
00:44:28,574 --> 00:44:30,667
Tastes like pizza, huh?
762
00:44:32,245 --> 00:44:33,294
Cheers.
763
00:44:34,731 --> 00:44:38,007
Bread ain't too bad, huh?
Even when it's cold.
764
00:44:47,093 --> 00:44:50,094
96 miles west
near pierre part,
765
00:44:50,188 --> 00:44:53,581
Anna and ashley are looking
to validate their decision
766
00:44:53,599 --> 00:44:57,193
To move to the swamp
by tagging one more monster.
767
00:44:57,420 --> 00:45:01,272
You gotta want it deep,
deep down in your soul.
768
00:45:01,424 --> 00:45:03,366
Anna, we got a point
to prove, you know.
769
00:45:03,593 --> 00:45:07,853
There's a lot of pressure
just being a new captain.
770
00:45:07,947 --> 00:45:11,874
Having a deckhand that isn't
as experienced as even I am,
771
00:45:12,101 --> 00:45:16,195
It's definitely
really, really hard.
772
00:45:16,214 --> 00:45:18,506
Ultimately, we have to do
whatever it takes.
773
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:22,885
Where's that line?
774
00:45:24,705 --> 00:45:26,781
Maybe around the back.
775
00:45:26,874 --> 00:45:29,041
It's wrapped around the tree.
776
00:45:29,060 --> 00:45:32,186
Watch yourself up there, anna.
777
00:45:35,141 --> 00:45:37,883
What does it feel like?
778
00:45:37,977 --> 00:45:39,402
It feels like we're stuck.
779
00:45:39,629 --> 00:45:41,529
God, no.
780
00:45:45,802 --> 00:45:47,577
Let me come up there
and help.
781
00:45:49,581 --> 00:45:51,914
-I think I got it unstuck.
-I think so, too.
782
00:45:53,476 --> 00:45:54,809
-Anything pulling back?
-It's pulling back now.
783
00:45:54,827 --> 00:45:55,826
Okay, good.
784
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,754
Oh, yeah, get the gun.
785
00:45:59,257 --> 00:46:00,648
Whoa!
786
00:46:00,666 --> 00:46:01,832
Oh, my god, oh, my god!
787
00:46:01,926 --> 00:46:03,334
Let it go, let it go.
788
00:46:03,486 --> 00:46:05,244
You've got your hand wrapped.
Don't do that.
789
00:46:05,338 --> 00:46:06,912
That's a big gator.
790
00:46:06,931 --> 00:46:09,657
Oh, my god,
we're gonna sink the boat.
791
00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:11,158
Oh, anna,
this is a monster gator.
792
00:46:11,252 --> 00:46:12,343
We've gotta get this gator
in the boat.
793
00:46:12,495 --> 00:46:13,828
Look, I have chill bumps.
794
00:46:13,846 --> 00:46:16,421
That might be the biggest gator
I've ever seen.
795
00:46:16,441 --> 00:46:17,832
We can't let this one
get off, ash.
796
00:46:17,925 --> 00:46:20,092
-Oh, my god.
-This is huge.
797
00:46:20,111 --> 00:46:22,445
I'm gonna come around
the other side and get him.
798
00:46:26,509 --> 00:46:28,509
He's under the boat.
799
00:46:28,602 --> 00:46:30,936
Yeah, anna, get me the gun.
800
00:46:30,955 --> 00:46:32,696
I need to be on that side.
You need to be on this side
801
00:46:32,849 --> 00:46:33,956
Because he's swimming out
802
00:46:34,108 --> 00:46:36,626
So his head's
gonna be closest to us.
803
00:46:36,777 --> 00:46:39,462
Just watch your face 'cause I'm
gonna start slinging bullets.
804
00:46:41,282 --> 00:46:43,132
All right, you ready?
805
00:46:45,303 --> 00:46:47,136
Whoa!
806
00:46:53,886 --> 00:46:56,704
In pierre part, ashley and anna
are battling a colossus.
807
00:46:56,722 --> 00:46:58,297
Oh, my god.
808
00:46:58,316 --> 00:46:59,774
Whoa!
809
00:47:01,711 --> 00:47:03,444
Get a shot on him,
get a shot on him!
810
00:47:04,471 --> 00:47:05,304
Get a shot on him.
811
00:47:05,398 --> 00:47:07,824
-Whoa!
-There he goes.
812
00:47:12,831 --> 00:47:16,240
-Whoo!
-Hell, yeah!
813
00:47:16,392 --> 00:47:18,409
-Night, night.
-Sleep tight.
814
00:47:18,561 --> 00:47:21,838
This 12-and-a-half foot
dinosaur is the ultimate proof
815
00:47:22,065 --> 00:47:24,323
Ashley was right
to come to the swamp.
816
00:47:24,417 --> 00:47:26,400
Whoo! Look at that gator!
817
00:47:26,419 --> 00:47:29,920
Rake him over. We got him.
818
00:47:30,073 --> 00:47:32,590
Does he even fit in the boat?
819
00:47:32,742 --> 00:47:34,499
Oh, my god.
820
00:47:34,594 --> 00:47:36,093
I know that ronnie thought
821
00:47:36,245 --> 00:47:38,412
That us moving to the swamp
was a bad idea,
822
00:47:38,505 --> 00:47:42,249
But obviously this
has paid off.
823
00:47:42,343 --> 00:47:44,009
We're pulling the average up,
824
00:47:44,103 --> 00:47:47,421
And that's all we've been asked
to do and we're doing that.
825
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,365
I can't wait to bring it back
and measure it.
826
00:47:49,516 --> 00:47:50,608
This thing's
gonna be freaking sweet.
827
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,259
I can't wait
to tell ronnie, too.
828
00:47:52,278 --> 00:47:54,871
Oh, my god,
he's gonna be so proud.
829
00:47:55,098 --> 00:47:58,282
Super glad you suggested
coming to the swamp.
830
00:47:58,376 --> 00:47:59,834
This was why.
831
00:48:15,451 --> 00:48:18,728
93 miles away
in pointe a la hache,
832
00:48:18,955 --> 00:48:21,713
Joey and zak
have been on a roll
833
00:48:21,807 --> 00:48:23,548
Since they moved their lines.
834
00:48:23,568 --> 00:48:25,902
That deep water's
finally paying off.
835
00:48:26,053 --> 00:48:27,570
No more lizards.
836
00:48:27,797 --> 00:48:29,797
But they still haven't
quite met
837
00:48:29,890 --> 00:48:32,724
Their lofty 10-foot goal.
838
00:48:32,744 --> 00:48:36,153
I think we got
one more line, huh, pop?
839
00:48:36,305 --> 00:48:37,304
It has a double ribbon on it.
840
00:48:37,323 --> 00:48:39,415
Yeah. The day's wearing on.
841
00:48:39,566 --> 00:48:40,991
We still don't have
a 10-foot average.
842
00:48:41,144 --> 00:48:43,920
Hopefully, this next line
we'll get a big one.
843
00:48:44,147 --> 00:48:46,071
If we can get an 11-
or 12-foot alligator,
844
00:48:46,090 --> 00:48:48,925
That'll bring us over
the 10-foot average.
845
00:48:49,076 --> 00:48:53,596
That's us right there.
846
00:48:53,747 --> 00:48:56,599
Oh, we got something
on this next one.
847
00:49:01,998 --> 00:49:06,091
He's on there, pop.
I don't know how big he is.
848
00:49:06,185 --> 00:49:10,780
He's either really big or he's
attached to something big.
849
00:49:10,931 --> 00:49:13,282
Oof! He feels better.
850
00:49:14,285 --> 00:49:15,785
You think?
851
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:19,121
It's a solid one.
852
00:49:21,626 --> 00:49:23,084
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
853
00:49:25,630 --> 00:49:30,299
-I can drag him out.
-Drag that boy out, pop.
854
00:49:30,451 --> 00:49:32,802
Biggest alligator today.
855
00:49:34,455 --> 00:49:36,380
Zak, get your gun, get your gun.
856
00:49:36,474 --> 00:49:37,881
It's a good one.
857
00:49:38,034 --> 00:49:40,551
He felt good.
Safety's off.
858
00:49:40,645 --> 00:49:43,312
Oh, yeah, there we go.
859
00:49:43,464 --> 00:49:46,798
This is what we came for,
alligators like this.
860
00:49:46,818 --> 00:49:48,209
But he's hooked in the mouth.
861
00:49:48,302 --> 00:49:49,727
Oh, dude, he's barely hooked.
862
00:49:49,879 --> 00:49:51,153
He's barely hooked.
863
00:49:52,806 --> 00:49:54,657
Watch your hands,
watch your hands.
864
00:49:58,571 --> 00:50:00,554
That's a monster! Whoa!
865
00:50:00,573 --> 00:50:01,646
Oh, my god!
866
00:50:01,741 --> 00:50:03,666
Oh, death roll.
Come on.
867
00:50:03,817 --> 00:50:06,243
Muscle him up.
Muscle that boy up.
868
00:50:06,337 --> 00:50:07,986
Get him up here.
869
00:50:08,006 --> 00:50:10,506
Get ready with that gun.
870
00:50:15,404 --> 00:50:17,346
[gunshot]
871
00:50:22,020 --> 00:50:24,169
That's what I'm talking about.
Good job.
872
00:50:24,188 --> 00:50:25,746
-Come on, dude.
-Good job.
873
00:50:25,765 --> 00:50:27,189
That's what
we came here for.
874
00:50:27,416 --> 00:50:28,673
-That'll help our average.
-That'll help us.
875
00:50:28,693 --> 00:50:30,934
That's what we came here for.
876
00:50:31,029 --> 00:50:33,937
One, two, three.
877
00:50:34,090 --> 00:50:37,015
This 11-footer
is what joey and zak need
878
00:50:37,035 --> 00:50:41,537
To end a long day
and secure a 10-foot average.
879
00:50:42,856 --> 00:50:45,432
-I'm tired, dude.
-I know you're tired.
880
00:50:45,526 --> 00:50:47,692
Today was a really tough day.
881
00:50:47,712 --> 00:50:49,436
Just to get a 10-foot average
882
00:50:49,455 --> 00:50:52,381
And to have to carry that weight
on your shoulder all day
883
00:50:52,533 --> 00:50:56,052
Was definitely, it was a strain,
but, you know, I feel good.
884
00:50:56,203 --> 00:50:58,462
We came through it on top.
885
00:50:58,614 --> 00:51:00,389
We caught our 10-foot average.
886
00:51:00,541 --> 00:51:02,558
Dad's gonna be proud,
887
00:51:02,785 --> 00:51:05,119
But it definitely
took something out of me.
888
00:51:05,137 --> 00:51:05,969
We needed that.
889
00:51:06,064 --> 00:51:08,138
That's how you do it.
890
00:51:08,232 --> 00:51:10,882
Let's go see what dad
and dorien's got going on
891
00:51:10,902 --> 00:51:13,235
At st. Mary's.
892
00:51:29,478 --> 00:51:31,921
Meanwhile, on cow island...
893
00:51:32,148 --> 00:51:34,256
You don't see nothin' big
to shoot at, p?
894
00:51:34,483 --> 00:51:35,649
Nothing.
895
00:51:35,668 --> 00:51:37,593
Troy is relying on pickle
896
00:51:37,744 --> 00:51:39,987
For one last shot
to bag a giant.
897
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,265
If you look back in the past,
898
00:51:43,492 --> 00:51:45,750
The landrys have done
an amazing job
899
00:51:45,770 --> 00:51:47,252
Pulling alligators
out of cow island.
900
00:51:47,271 --> 00:51:50,755
Jacob and don
are both awesome snipers,
901
00:51:50,850 --> 00:51:52,499
So it's kind of like, man,
902
00:51:52,518 --> 00:51:55,427
Is pickle gonna hold up
the landry weight, you know?
903
00:51:55,446 --> 00:51:56,946
It's a lot of pressure on me.
904
00:51:57,097 --> 00:52:00,783
See the one in front
of the boat at 12 o'clock?
905
00:52:01,010 --> 00:52:01,766
Yeah.
906
00:52:01,786 --> 00:52:03,435
-Big one?
-Yeah.
907
00:52:03,454 --> 00:52:06,455
I am practicing a lot
to prove myself.
908
00:52:06,607 --> 00:52:09,700
Last year, I missed a lot,
but I got a better rifle,
909
00:52:09,852 --> 00:52:12,110
And I'm gonna get the job done.
910
00:52:12,130 --> 00:52:14,463
Remember where he was?
911
00:52:15,949 --> 00:52:18,450
-Looks like right here.
-He went down.
912
00:52:18,544 --> 00:52:20,302
Hey, I got a idea.
913
00:52:20,529 --> 00:52:22,805
He's gonna drop me off
on this little peninsula
914
00:52:22,956 --> 00:52:25,290
That comes out right where we
watched this alligator go down,
915
00:52:25,309 --> 00:52:26,791
And he's gonna take off
with the boat.
916
00:52:26,886 --> 00:52:28,218
Usually, when you do that,
917
00:52:28,371 --> 00:52:30,371
The alligators think,
"okay, it's safe now.
918
00:52:30,389 --> 00:52:31,981
I can come up and breathe."
919
00:52:32,132 --> 00:52:33,482
Oh, I see him.
920
00:52:35,895 --> 00:52:37,820
I'm not even ready.
921
00:52:46,222 --> 00:52:47,163
[gunshot]
922
00:52:51,911 --> 00:52:55,062
On cow island, pickle
is hoping her aim is true.
923
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,988
[gunshot]
924
00:52:57,008 --> 00:52:58,799
Oh, yeah, you got him.
925
00:53:03,163 --> 00:53:05,347
Pee-wee, I'm pumped, baby.
926
00:53:06,258 --> 00:53:07,933
Get your treble hook ready.
927
00:53:23,016 --> 00:53:25,284
It's a big one!
Shoot him!
928
00:53:30,691 --> 00:53:32,333
Shoot him!
929
00:53:38,549 --> 00:53:41,792
[laughs]
930
00:53:41,944 --> 00:53:43,677
Huh?
931
00:53:45,038 --> 00:53:48,131
-All right, pee-wee.
-What a beast.
932
00:53:48,284 --> 00:53:50,017
-Hurry up, he's heavy.
-Ay-yi-yi.
933
00:53:51,896 --> 00:53:54,546
Okay.
934
00:53:54,565 --> 00:53:56,232
Okay, you got your knee on him
right there?
935
00:53:56,383 --> 00:53:58,459
-I got it, yeah.
-One, two, three.
936
00:53:58,477 --> 00:54:00,552
With this 12-footer
in the boat,
937
00:54:00,646 --> 00:54:02,238
Troy and pickle's average
938
00:54:02,465 --> 00:54:04,631
Shoots up to over
nine-and-a-half feet.
939
00:54:04,725 --> 00:54:07,801
That alligator's
70 to 80 years old.
940
00:54:07,894 --> 00:54:09,970
That's gonna help
our average a lot.
941
00:54:09,989 --> 00:54:12,139
That was sucky.
942
00:54:12,157 --> 00:54:14,899
At the end of the day,
jacob and don
943
00:54:14,919 --> 00:54:18,662
Only bagged one gator to add
to troy and pickle's five.
944
00:54:18,756 --> 00:54:22,983
I think this was the worst
cow island trip we ever had
945
00:54:23,076 --> 00:54:24,668
As far for killing alligators.
946
00:54:24,762 --> 00:54:26,987
We was hoping to catch
at least 20 alligators,
947
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,432
And we come out of here
with six alligators. Six.
948
00:54:30,584 --> 00:54:32,159
And we had a good average.
949
00:54:32,177 --> 00:54:34,161
They was about a nine,
nine-and-a-half foot average,
950
00:54:34,254 --> 00:54:37,106
But it hurt us on our numbers
big time.
951
00:54:37,333 --> 00:54:38,941
We get home, we're just
gonna kick double time.
952
00:54:39,168 --> 00:54:41,335
Gonna have to work harder
when we get home, that's right.
953
00:54:41,428 --> 00:54:43,112
-Yeah.
-All right, boys and girls,
954
00:54:43,339 --> 00:54:45,172
Let's go put these things
on ice.
955
00:54:45,190 --> 00:54:47,533
[engine starts]
956
00:55:05,694 --> 00:55:08,137
Back in bayou sorrel,
957
00:55:08,364 --> 00:55:12,032
Willie and little willie
have started catching gators,
958
00:55:12,125 --> 00:55:14,959
But first place
is now in question.
959
00:55:14,979 --> 00:55:17,479
We got a lot of gators to catch.
960
00:55:17,706 --> 00:55:19,464
We had bigger ones yesterday,
but not many.
961
00:55:19,558 --> 00:55:21,558
We still got a lot of tags.
962
00:55:21,652 --> 00:55:23,319
Got down pretty bad right now.
963
00:55:23,470 --> 00:55:26,046
My average-size alligators
is not like it was.
964
00:55:26,065 --> 00:55:28,157
All I see is little gators,
six, seven, eight-foot.
965
00:55:28,308 --> 00:55:30,400
I mean, we want something
that's nine-foot and up,
966
00:55:30,553 --> 00:55:32,235
10-foot and up,
keeping it as the size.
967
00:55:32,330 --> 00:55:35,313
And I'm hoping we can get
these tags filled for the season
968
00:55:35,333 --> 00:55:37,724
And everything and catch
big alligators on 'em.
969
00:55:37,743 --> 00:55:39,335
But right now,
it ain't doing too good.
970
00:55:39,562 --> 00:55:41,837
Out there, way in front
of the treetop.
971
00:55:41,988 --> 00:55:43,422
Yeah, I see him out there.
972
00:55:50,664 --> 00:55:51,805
Throw it on him.
973
00:55:59,765 --> 00:56:02,749
Good god! Whoa!
974
00:56:02,843 --> 00:56:06,010
Good lord, we got
a freaking crocodile.
975
00:56:06,105 --> 00:56:07,196
That's a big one, willie.
976
00:56:07,423 --> 00:56:09,531
Yeah, it is.
977
00:56:12,111 --> 00:56:13,786
He's underneath the boat.
978
00:56:20,119 --> 00:56:22,193
He's coming up.
979
00:56:22,287 --> 00:56:25,214
Shoot him, willie, get him!
980
00:56:29,220 --> 00:56:31,887
-That's a big one. Whew!
-That's a good one there.
981
00:56:32,798 --> 00:56:34,297
-You ready?
-Let's go.
982
00:56:34,392 --> 00:56:37,876
This 11-foot beast
helps turn their day around,
983
00:56:37,970 --> 00:56:41,045
But the challenge of filling
all their tags treble hooking
984
00:56:41,140 --> 00:56:43,232
Is starting to take its toll.
985
00:56:43,459 --> 00:56:45,717
It's fun hooking with these
treble hooks and everything,
986
00:56:45,736 --> 00:56:46,902
But I got to fill these tags.
987
00:56:47,129 --> 00:56:48,812
I mean, I'd like to have
big alligators
988
00:56:48,906 --> 00:56:50,388
On every one of them,
989
00:56:50,408 --> 00:56:52,574
But I cannot turn
no tags back in.
990
00:56:52,726 --> 00:56:54,225
I got to fill all of them.
991
00:56:54,319 --> 00:56:58,229
We catching a bunch,
but we still got a lot of tags.
992
00:56:58,323 --> 00:56:59,898
I'm hoping we can fill 'em.
993
00:56:59,917 --> 00:57:01,542
Yeah, I hope so.
994
00:57:11,670 --> 00:57:14,096
In the swamp outside franklin,
995
00:57:14,247 --> 00:57:17,415
Daniel and dorien
search for one more monster
996
00:57:17,509 --> 00:57:21,770
To reach their lofty goal
of a 10-foot average.
997
00:57:25,759 --> 00:57:27,926
We were hitting home runs
earlier,
998
00:57:27,945 --> 00:57:30,094
But it's not looking too good.
999
00:57:30,114 --> 00:57:31,838
We're striking out right now.
1000
00:57:31,932 --> 00:57:35,617
It's do or die time.
We have to make it happen.
1001
00:57:39,957 --> 00:57:43,200
One just sunk in the middle
of that slip right there.
1002
00:57:43,294 --> 00:57:46,019
I just saw the water move
when he went down.
1003
00:57:46,112 --> 00:57:49,381
I didn't get a chance
to see the size of him.
1004
00:57:52,970 --> 00:57:53,969
It was a bull?
1005
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,047
I don't know, pa.
I don't know.
1006
00:57:57,199 --> 00:57:59,216
I just saw him
when he went down.
1007
00:57:59,310 --> 00:58:01,718
It could be a big one.
1008
00:58:01,812 --> 00:58:04,646
I'm willing to sacrifice
a little bit of time
1009
00:58:04,798 --> 00:58:07,483
Because we need
that 10-foot average.
1010
00:58:07,710 --> 00:58:11,044
-We need that alligator.
-He was right there.
1011
00:58:11,137 --> 00:58:13,880
Had his head
high out the water, too.
1012
00:58:13,974 --> 00:58:16,233
I don't know
where he's gonna be now.
1013
00:58:16,327 --> 00:58:18,309
Straight in front of you, pa.
1014
00:58:18,403 --> 00:58:22,389
Oh, yeah, I see him over there.
1015
00:58:22,482 --> 00:58:26,910
You're gonna have to use
the paddle or the deck.
1016
00:58:27,004 --> 00:58:29,412
Don't make any sudden movements.
1017
00:58:29,507 --> 00:58:31,732
I can take that shot.
1018
00:58:31,825 --> 00:58:32,916
You think
you can make that shot?
1019
00:58:33,068 --> 00:58:34,343
I'm not gonna move.
1020
00:58:36,071 --> 00:58:37,328
If you can take it,
1021
00:58:37,348 --> 00:58:41,517
Right behind the eye,
right under the eye.
1022
00:58:45,581 --> 00:58:49,441
And don't shoot
unless you got him, pa.
1023
00:58:54,347 --> 00:58:57,032
Hush, little baby.
1024
00:58:57,259 --> 00:59:00,536
[gunshot]
1025
00:59:00,763 --> 00:59:03,280
In the swamp
outside franklin...
1026
00:59:03,432 --> 00:59:05,040
Right under the eye.
1027
00:59:05,267 --> 00:59:09,127
And don't shoot
unless you got him.
1028
00:59:14,943 --> 00:59:15,959
[gunshot]
1029
00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:17,611
I believe you got him.
1030
00:59:17,629 --> 00:59:19,680
And that's how it's done.
1031
00:59:28,048 --> 00:59:30,123
Don't panic.
Just take your time.
1032
00:59:30,142 --> 00:59:31,567
Take your time.
1033
00:59:34,387 --> 00:59:36,405
You might
have to shoot him again.
1034
00:59:42,971 --> 00:59:46,331
Shoot him again, pa!
1035
00:59:58,153 --> 01:00:00,821
Oh! [laughs]
1036
01:00:00,839 --> 01:00:02,264
That second shot got him.
1037
01:00:02,415 --> 01:00:04,433
What about your average
on that thing?
1038
01:00:04,584 --> 01:00:06,417
That's a bull right there.
1039
01:00:06,437 --> 01:00:08,604
Oh, my goodness.
1040
01:00:08,755 --> 01:00:12,107
One, two, go.
1041
01:00:13,944 --> 01:00:16,361
-Push down.
-I'm pushing.
1042
01:00:18,523 --> 01:00:19,764
-Watch this.
-Use your gaff.
1043
01:00:19,858 --> 01:00:21,358
I got that big guy.
1044
01:00:21,510 --> 01:00:25,078
This 13-footer will help
supersize their average.
1045
01:00:28,033 --> 01:00:29,607
Wow!
1046
01:00:29,627 --> 01:00:32,202
Whew!
1047
01:00:32,296 --> 01:00:35,613
Hey, pa, great shot, pa.
1048
01:00:35,633 --> 01:00:37,448
[laughs]
1049
01:00:37,542 --> 01:00:40,618
Oh, my god, we got him.
1050
01:00:40,712 --> 01:00:43,029
10th alligator.
1051
01:00:43,123 --> 01:00:44,531
Guaranteed a 10-foot average.
1052
01:00:44,549 --> 01:00:46,791
-That's the one.
-Yeah.
1053
01:00:46,885 --> 01:00:48,977
And we just secured it, pa.
1054
01:00:49,129 --> 01:00:56,467
Today is a combination of a lot
of experience, skill, some luck.
1055
01:00:56,561 --> 01:00:58,803
The combination of all of it
1056
01:00:58,822 --> 01:01:01,047
Turned out to be
a really good day.
1057
01:01:01,066 --> 01:01:03,216
That's the way
to start the season, pa.
1058
01:01:03,235 --> 01:01:05,077
Oh, absolutely.
1059
01:01:17,900 --> 01:01:20,083
Over at duffy's...
1060
01:01:20,177 --> 01:01:23,069
What we got over here?
1061
01:01:23,088 --> 01:01:26,923
Man, y'all got
a truckload of alligators.
1062
01:01:27,017 --> 01:01:28,684
Willie, what the hell?
1063
01:01:28,911 --> 01:01:31,261
I just stopped to see what
the other hunters were catching,
1064
01:01:31,413 --> 01:01:34,022
And, man,
everybody was coming in
1065
01:01:34,249 --> 01:01:36,525
With boatloads
of pretty alligators,
1066
01:01:36,752 --> 01:01:38,527
Big, big alligators.
1067
01:01:38,678 --> 01:01:40,770
-Y'all catching a few?
-No, not today.
1068
01:01:40,864 --> 01:01:42,680
It was rough today, man.
1069
01:01:42,774 --> 01:01:44,348
Jacob, we got competition here.
1070
01:01:44,443 --> 01:01:46,493
We're gonna have to tighten up.
1071
01:01:47,946 --> 01:01:49,779
Back at st. Mary's...
1072
01:01:49,873 --> 01:01:51,189
I gotta prep my crab.
1073
01:01:51,283 --> 01:01:54,267
Joey's preparing to celebrate
1074
01:01:54,286 --> 01:01:57,528
A challenging but successful
start to the season.
1075
01:01:57,622 --> 01:02:00,549
Come on, patriarch, we got
something cooking for you.
1076
01:02:00,776 --> 01:02:03,610
[laughs]
1077
01:02:03,703 --> 01:02:04,869
Damn near.
1078
01:02:04,963 --> 01:02:07,130
It's just gonna cook faster.
1079
01:02:07,282 --> 01:02:09,391
Yeah, extra crispy crabs.
1080
01:02:09,618 --> 01:02:10,784
What a day.
1081
01:02:10,802 --> 01:02:12,710
I think the difference
amongst teams
1082
01:02:12,730 --> 01:02:13,878
At the end of the season
1083
01:02:13,897 --> 01:02:15,230
Is just gonna be
a matter of inches.
1084
01:02:15,457 --> 01:02:17,715
You know, it's gonna be
a close competition.
1085
01:02:17,735 --> 01:02:20,718
It's gonna be
a really close competition.
1086
01:02:20,812 --> 01:02:23,238
And, hopefully, the edgars will
come out on top, but who knows?
1087
01:02:23,389 --> 01:02:25,482
We giving it our best,
I do know that.
1088
01:02:25,634 --> 01:02:27,467
At the close of day two,
1089
01:02:27,486 --> 01:02:29,152
The edgars soar to first place
1090
01:02:29,304 --> 01:02:32,989
With the highest season average
of nine feet, five inches.
1091
01:02:33,083 --> 01:02:36,493
Willie drops to second
with nine feet, four inches,
1092
01:02:36,645 --> 01:02:40,071
While the landrys
slip to third.
1093
01:02:40,090 --> 01:02:42,758
-Thanks, dad.
-You're welcome.
1094
01:02:43,819 --> 01:02:45,076
Oh, my god.
1095
01:02:45,095 --> 01:02:48,154
There's no sandwich in the world
1096
01:02:48,173 --> 01:02:50,432
Better than
a soft-shell crab sandwich.
1097
01:02:50,583 --> 01:02:51,674
Ooh, yeah!
1098
01:02:51,769 --> 01:02:53,343
You can put a ribeye,
1099
01:02:53,437 --> 01:02:57,013
You can put whatever you want
between two slices of bread.
1100
01:02:57,165 --> 01:03:01,184
There is nothing in the world
better than a soft-shell crab.
1101
01:03:01,278 --> 01:03:04,687
Sure enjoyed you helping me
this season, I'm telling you.
1102
01:03:04,782 --> 01:03:06,189
Lord have mercy.
1103
01:03:06,341 --> 01:03:09,175
Do you think we have a chance
to win this thing?
1104
01:03:09,269 --> 01:03:11,602
I don't know.
Zak and I did our best.
1105
01:03:11,696 --> 01:03:13,271
We caught a lot of big ones.
1106
01:03:13,365 --> 01:03:15,273
I know that.
We killed what was there.
1107
01:03:15,292 --> 01:03:18,685
We'll probably have a big one
tomorrow. A couple.
1108
01:03:18,778 --> 01:03:21,521
We had a couple of good sets.
1109
01:03:21,540 --> 01:03:23,465
I think we're in excellent shape
right now.
1110
01:03:23,692 --> 01:03:27,527
It looks like that
we could win this thing.
1111
01:03:27,546 --> 01:03:31,622
Starting to feel pretty
confident, you know.
1112
01:03:31,642 --> 01:03:33,033
Of course,
in the back of your mind,
1113
01:03:33,051 --> 01:03:34,367
You're always
thinking about things
1114
01:03:34,460 --> 01:03:36,886
That could go wrong
and possibilities.
1115
01:03:37,039 --> 01:03:41,900
But it sure does look good
when your plan comes together.
1116
01:03:43,153 --> 01:03:44,319
You hang around me, boy,
1117
01:03:44,470 --> 01:03:45,821
You're gonna have to learn
how to eat.
1118
01:03:46,048 --> 01:03:47,989
[laughs]
1119
01:03:49,718 --> 01:03:52,160
Not too shabby, huh?
