" You know, Dad is set in his ways." "He's a Landry." "Whatever he thinks is the way he wants it to go." "He knows most of what he's talking about, but sometimes we might know something." "Me and Chase, you know, we younger." "We do things differently." "We try to work smarter instead of harder and try to, you know, make things easy on ourselves." "Dad's still stuck in them old ways." "And I'm sure my son will be sitting right here saying the same thing about me." "And, hopefully, one day that tradition and this whole Landry deal will be carried on for 20 to 30 years from now."

" Yesterday, Mr. Roy called me for help, and there's no way on earth I could turn him down." "Now we are way behind." " But the King of the Swamp has a plan." "He's counting on a secret spot to pull in big numbers." " This honey hole could get us back on track, hopefully." " Pole's straight up." " Oh, the pole's moving." "I just saw the pole move." " Oh, oh." "No, Pa, slack." " The pole move?" " Oh, yeah, the pole moved." " Be careful." "First line, babyWh!" "oo!" " A nice little alligator." " Yeah, hell, yeah." "Oh, yes, indeed!" " Ooh!" "I don't know if I'm ready." "[ gunshot ]" "What the hell?" "We're off to a good start, buddy." "First line, we got a alligator." "What the hell we want better than that?" " But Troy's excitement quickly turns to concern." " Oh!" "[ whistles ]" " Look how wide that is." " This gator has been mauled by a monster." " Big alligators are real territorial, and it happens often when you have a big alligator in the area, he'll eat smaller gators." "But we just picked up a alligator that was big, and he had teeth marks." "I could stick my finger in 'em." " Yeah, look, we can put several fingers in there." " Them big alligators are just like cannibals." "I mean, they'll eat their own." "If he can kill them, he's gonna eat tm.he" " We gotta get him out of here." "Pull up right here." "I'm gonna go toss a line." "Make this happen." " Man, I wanna catch him bad." " As the King of the Swamp hunts down his cannibal gar.to.." "To the east in the marsh near Houma, the Molineres begin their day with a sense of urgency." " Right now, we're probably a couple of days behind." " After RJ spent a few rough days fishing on his own and didn't catch much..." "This season, RJ finds himself more reliant on his son than ever before." " When I was younger and I was out there by myself, it was great." "But now, thank God I have Jay Paul." " Yeah, the line's down." "The line's down, but I don't see nothing." " Oh, yeah, man." "We got one." " Oh, yeah, he went up on land." "He's not the boss, but I give him the reins because he became a man and he can take care of things." " I feel like in the last couple of years," "I've had to take the reins." "Dad's slowly passing the torch over." " Oh, yeah, I see it." " Oh, dude." "Come on, boy." "Come on, boy." " I'm a little sharper, a little keener." "Don't get me wrong." "He's still strong as hell, but guess what?" "He will slip up a little bit." " With the gator hidden in the thick gssra," "Jay Paul and his dad use a gaff to try and dig out the line and stir the beast out of its lair." " Be careful." " Come on, dude." "Come on, boy."

" Oh, my God." " That's Chase." "You know, he's single, he's young, he's not responsible." "I'm really, really, you know, pissed off." "I never hesitate to give him any crap because, believe me, if he has the opportunity, he gives it right back to me." " Missed." " Whatcha doin dg,ude, swinging that thing right by me like that?" "What if I'd have moved right before you'd a done that?" " I know you wouldn't of." "I was watching you." "You was only starting out your knot." "If you'd have been finishing your knot, I would've waited." " It's inevitable every year." "Jacob is mad at me over something silly." "Sometimes when I'll sleep through the alarm." "I think to waste time fighting or, you know, being mad when it ultimately gets done, then it shouldn't matter." "Over there in the water." "Is that one?" " Mm-hmm." " Knowing they need to bag a big loadod tay," "Chase decides the best strategy to fill the boat and get back on his brother's good side is to snipe gators." " Given the circumstances that Jacob and I haven't caught all the gators we ne,ed" "I suggested that we gonna start riding around and looking for gators in open water with the rifle." " Sniping is a quicker way to hunt, avoiding the time it takes to travel, set lesin, and wait for the gators to take the bait." "But it's also a lot riskier." " Chase has got to get a shot." "You know, here we are running behind, and we have tags to fill." " The boys race to retrieve the beast..." " Before it sinks to the bottom." " Right there." "No, right here." " What the [ bleep ]?" " I don't see it." "You see it?" "All rit.gh" "I started worrying, and it starts making you think in the back of your mind, did he miss it?" " In Amelia, Louisiana, far behind in their tag count," "Chase is frantically trying to snag the beast he shot at moments ago." " I don't see it." "You see it?" " Pretty bad." " I don't see it." " You know, I took a shot when I shouldn't have and I ended up missing a big alligator." "and anytime I miss or, you know, a bad shot or I lose one, it just sticks with me." "It felt good when I shot him." "I mean, I thought I smoked him." " Frustrated, Chase continues to search for the gator." " Over there." " Oh, God, we lost the treble hook." " Oh, my God." " But to make matters worse, the knot's come undone and the treble hook has slipped off the rope." " We didn't have another treble hook in our boat, and we needed one." " [ bleep ]" "If we're going to shoot a big alligator with the rifle, we need a treble hook." "That is a key to the success of it." "It's gotta be somewhere right there, though." "I can get out and feel for it." "We started feeling around with that pole, because any time metal hits metal, it's gonna make noise." "[ clank ]" " Hey, right here." "Reach down there." " I got my hand in the water trying to find this treble hook, and we kinda forgot all about the nine or ten-foot alligator." "Sticking your hand in the water not knowing where it's at is pretty dangerous, and that alligator could be ready to bite." " Yes." " Bingo." " Awesome." " Yeah, buddy." "Luckily we wasn't in that deep of water, so I was able to feel and find it." "And then after that, we put a good knot on the hook." " Kind of like finding a needle in a haystack." " Chase does a lot of things before thinkg.in" "I think before I do, he do before he think." "I want him to redeem himself for strolling in late, losing the treble hook, and whatnot." " As Chase and Jacob try to get back on track... 53 miles north in Gonzales," "Glenn Guist is also on shaky ground." " Well, this old house, it's been here, man, as long, longer than when I was born." "And Daddy built this maybe, 60, 70 years, I guess now." "I was sitting in my chair watching TV with my feet in the water." "[ laughs ]" "About ankle deep." " This is my first time doing this, Glenn." "I can't lie to you." "I think I understand the concept of it." " With help from his friend Todd," "Glenn plans to prop up and level out his sinking hoeus using cement pillars and shims." "For the foundation, like the piers, they'll start sinking." "Man, they got a couple of them is almost sunk out of sight." " You want me to spot you?" "No?" " I got it." "[ groans ]" "I was like thihes re sitting trying to watch TV, man." "[ laughs ]" "First thing, you gotta get you a shovel 'cause you're gonna have a little bit of digging to do." "Kinda level the ground out." "Then you get you some pads." "Then you get you some bcklos." "Then you find you some jacks." "Man, that's about it." "And you just go from there, man." " Easy, old house." "Easy, gal." " Jacking up this old house, it could fall ov.er" " You know what the word precarious means?" " No, what that mean?" " It means hanging on by a" " Thread?" " Yeah." " Okay." "[ chuckles ]" " Out of some old scrap wood he found lying arod,un" "Glenn's cutting the shims swamp style." " As Glenn and Todd attempt to stay in one piece..." "Back on Myette Point, needing to pull in a big load today," "Troy and Guy are trying to fend off a cannibal gator that's ruining their haul." " Hey, it's down, but it's slack, brother." " Ho!" " He was eaten alive." " Once again, the vicious monster has struck." " When you catch an alligator on a line, the other big ones in the area, they hear him making splashes in the water and they think he caught food." "So they rush over to take the food away from him, but he's hooked on a line, so they'll kill him." "That might be him right there swimmi.ng" "This cannibal gator is just trying to put us out of business." "Every alligator that he inrus is hitting me in my wallet." "It's costing me money now." " Although this gator won't earn a cent at the buyers, by law they must tag every gator they catch." " This gator was eaten in hf.al" " It's unbelievable." "That has to be a monster." " Oh, yeah." "I tell you what." "We need to catch that rascal." " To lure in the canbanil, the King of the Swamp has an idea." " Okay." " Rubbing our bait all over the ones he's chewed on and putting that smell on our bait..." "All right, you hung her up?" " Yep." " The Landry trap is s.et" "Meanwhile, back in the marsh near Houma, knowing they need to make up a lot of ground today," " Do you see the line orha wt?" " I don't see it." "I'm 50-plus years old now." "You know what I'm saying?" "So I think I've slowed down a little bit." "But with Jay Paul's help, he's not gonna let me slow do.wn" "But he's scared that I'll give up and say I don't wanna do this no more." " I see the line going in the grass on that side." " That's good." " It's hard to see my dad slow down because I know how much he has done and what he's capable of doing." "I'm not counting him out, but at the same time, he is getting older." "He's slowing down." " Watch out, bro." "Look o!" "ut" " RJ and Jay Paul are battling an angry bet.as" " Watch out, bro." "Look out!" "[ gunshot ]" " This six-footer brings the day's total to eight small gators so far." "And judging by his dad's energy level," "Jay Paul knows they need to pick up the pace." " Every year it seems like I'm pushing him harder and harder." "He's getting older, and sometimes I feel bad because I might get a little amped up on him." "Come on, Dad, what the hell you doing?" "Come on, man, what're you doing?" " 30 miles west in Amelia, trying to make up for lost time," "Jacob and Chase are on the hunt for gators in the open water." "But so far, Chase missed his one clear shot at sniping a monster." " We got one here, Jacob." "Oh, big alligator." "Big, big gator." " Typicay llif the boat's still and the motor's off, any little movement in the boat can make the boat rock, and that makes your crosshairs just go all over the place so you can't get steady on an alligator." "But if Jacob stays idling with the motor in forward but just barely gives it enough gas to take the vibration out of the boat, then my shot will be as still as if I was standing on dry ground." "There's an extreme amount of pressure whether, you know, I hit it or I miss it because I lost our opportunity to put a big alligator in the boat." "[ gunshot ]" " Get the gun." "Hurry up." " With the gator hooked, it's up to Jacob to finish the job." " Damn!" "Oh, he's mad." "Jumping iatt." "Watch that tail." "[ gunshot ]" " As Chase hauls in their pri..ze." " What the [ bleep ]?" " He makes a startling discovery." "Hu- h?" " I didn't hit this alligator." "Look at m.hi" "[ both laugh ]" " We got two in one!" " Today we had something I've never seen before." "We shot one, and we started getting close, so we treble hooked it and we shot him." "Got him in the boat and realediz that it's not even the alligator that we shot." "He was just trying to get away." " Yeah, this is him." " Then we look around ad here's the alligator that I had just shot floating." " That's what you call being productive." "I did a lot of two for one deals, but never two alligators like that." "[ both laugh ]" "We've seen a lot of crazy things, but that's never happened once before ever." "Several times a year I think to myself, you know what, I'd probably be a lot better off if I had somebody else in the boat with me." "And then, you know, we shoot a big alligator on open water that I know I wouldn't do with somebody else so, you know, and we forget all about that." " You can check in, but you ain't gonna check t.ou" " 54 miles north in Gonzales..." "As Glenn and his friend Todd raise the Guist house to level it out, they find some archaeological relics." " When you're jacking up a house, you find a lot of stuff you didn't know they had up under there." " What is that, Glenn, an old part of your time machine?" " It look like a big Jolly Green Giant dryer vent, huh?" " [ chuckles ]" " Look, bro, this might be like a piece of pottery maybe from the Choctaw Indians." "Y'all didn't build y'all house on some type of burial ground or something, huh?" " [ chuceskl ]" "I found an old gas tank" "I guess floated up under there from the flood." "A few pieces that looked like windowpane glasses." "I don't know how that got under there." "Aw, look at that little snake, dude." " I see him." " What is it, a copperhead or something?" " A snake, dude." "He wasn't very big." "I don't know what kind he was." "He was bro.wn" "I ain't killing." "Go find you another house." " As the boys continue to dig up swamp history one small piece at a time..." "Back in Myette Point..." "Troy and Guy have stepped up their efforts to catch the cannibal that's destroying their gators." " Guy and I, we figured out a way that we think we can catch this gator." "We took our bait and we rubbed it all over the alligators that was chewed up." "Them gators got a smell of their own." " It's tight, brother." " Tight?" " Got something, Guy Landry." "Ooh!" "Ooh!" "Whoo!" "Pop him, pop h!" "im" " In Myette Point..." "Troy and Guy think they have their cannibal monster on the line." " Ooh!" "Now!" "Shoot him!" " Whoo!" "Yeah, ba.by" "Yeah, baby." "One, two, three." "Oh, man." "Not again." "Look at the teeth mark." "Look at that." " Where he's at?" "I need the big gun and I need it now." " As they pull the mutilated gator into the boat, it's a familiar scene." "The savage beast has struck again." " I don't know what's the dl.ea" "We got the smell of the gators he's killed on our bait, and I thought sure we was gonna catch him." "But he's not falling for our trick." "He's way smarter than we thought he was." " He's here, he's close, and it's a big one." " Yeah." "This cannibal gator, I mean, it's at the point where I don't know what dtoo." "I'm about to pick up my lines and move to another area." "But if I don't catch him, that means I gotta deal with him again nexyet ar when I come to this area." "All we can do is just keep doing what we doing, rubbing our bait all over the ones he's chewed on, and, hopefully, he'll fall for it sooner or later." "You just never know with that [ bleep ]" " As Troy and Guy presons with their boatload of chewed up, worthless gators..." "Over in the marsh near Houma," "Jay Paul is leading the charge as he and RJ race to make up for several slow days on the water." " Jay Paul is upset because I'm getting older, and, you know, he's trying to keep me doing the things that I love to do." "And he knows once I stop, I probably won't go back." " After a slow start this morning, the Molineres now have 14 gators in their boat." " He's by that big pile of tall layered asgrs." " And with another line down, they're looking for more." " He's a good one." " Huh?" " He's a good one." " Well, let him go." "Give him to me." "I'll pull him to the boat." "But it gets pretty tricky, 'cause you never know what it's gonna do." " What the..." "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh." "That's not good." " If they wait much longer, the gator might pop the line," "So RJ instinctively takes over, stepping off the safety of the boat to bag the beast." "Okay, get ready, get ready." " Okay, he's looking straight up, straight up." "Get ready, get ready, get ready." " Real dangerous." " He's 10." " Oh, he's a good 10." "I feel no different now than I felt when I was 20 years old." "Go ." " That's it, huh?" "I taught my son to be a leader, and he's a hard worker." "But he knows down deep inside that as long as his dad is alive, his dad's still on that boat," "I'm the shot caller." "Until I say he takes over, then he takes over." " Meanwhile, back in Amelia, the Landry boys are trying to rake in a big haul by sniping in open water." " Big Boy McCoy." " Serious?" " Yeah." " Stop." "Stop." "Let me get everything ready." "Shooting off of the boat, you don't have much of a target as it is." "A gator's eyes and head only sticks out maybe that much." "But with the angle of the shot is where it really becomes tough." " Rey?" "ad" "[ gunshot ]" "[ gunshot ]" " Slow down." "I think he's up here." " That's it, Craig." " [ laug ]hs" " Still alive, the beast needs one more shot." "[ gunshot ]" " Got him, homie." " This nine-footer is their biggest catch of the day, worth $250, and for Chase, it's sweet redemption." " You know, me and Chase have a lot of conflict." "We got on a few, tried to shoot." "Chase just kept missing." "He said his excuses like normal, but he didn't give up, and that's really what makes the difference." "If you don't shoot at them and try to catchhe tm, you'll never have them in the boat." " In Amelia, Louiaisna," "Jacob and Chase have their biggest catch of the day in the palm of their hands." " Chase's quick reflexes just saved them a nine-foot, 300-pound, $250 gator." " I did not want to lose this alligator." "I couldn't lose him." "So the only thing I could think of to for sure get a hold on it was to pretty much just grab it and bear hug it to the side of the boat while Jacob got himself in a situation where he could help." "But I was not gonna lose that alligator." " [ chuckles ]" "I seen the look ihin s eyes like, holy crap, this thing's so heavy." "He just did it out of pure instinct, 'cause he didn't want to lose this alligator no more than what I did." " What you got over there, Dude?" " A scooby snack." " Great." " Celebratory MMs." "Jacob and I being brothers, we may not like each other during the day while we're fishing alligators, but when all is said and done, we love each other to death and I'd take a bullet for my brother any day." " Back in Gonzal..es." "[ whines ]" " Trying to raise his leaning house of Louisiana to avoid flooding, Glenn's still not satisfied."

"'Cause it ain't quite up to the line yet." " You're nitpicking, man." "You're gonna make a fuss about what, a sixteenth, eighth of an inch or something, man?" "Man, that's good, Glenn." " No, brah." " Aye-yi-yi." " We not professionals, but we did a good job." "We need just to get it up just a little bit where I can put one more little shim under it." "I needed to raise it up a little bit." "The jack is jacked up all it can go." "I got an idea how we might get the rest of it." " Old school?" " Yeah." "You don't know the old school way?" " All right." "I'll show you." "Look, this piece of pipe right here ought to work." " I'm gonna show you, brah." "Just have a little patience, man." " All right." " We're gonna stick it under here like this." "Me and you get on the end." "Pry this down a little bit, see if we can't pick it up a little bit." " Come on, Glenn." " How you gonna know if you don't try?" " All right." "If you say try, we can try." " Yep, let's try." "Ready?" "All right, here we go." "Oh, it's moving some, brah." " Is it moving at all?" " Yeah, it's moving a little bit." "We need a little bit more manpow, erbrah." " Well, this is all the manpower we got, me and you." " Yeah, but we'll gather a few of our other friends up, brah." "See if they'll come help us." " Yeah, you tell them to come over here and help us level your house, ain't nobody gonna come over here, man." " Ahh." " That's all we need, just three or four more other people."

" Where is it, Guy?" " Brother, it don't look tight?" " Oh, look, the whole tree is shaking!" " That's a big one, brother." "Ooh." " There's no way it's not a big one." "Sure enough, we come to one of the lines where we had put alligator blood on our bait." "And I hope we have him." " Damn right, that's a big one." "Ooh, look, brother." "Look how they wore that tree out, dude." "Oh, he h'seavy." " Huh?" " He ihes avy." "If he start fighting, he's gonna pop the line like nothing." "This is for real." "Did you load it?" " Yeah." " Dude, he feels like a giant." "He ain't coming up, and I can't bring him up." " Now we got a problem because this is a big rascal and we can't get his head up." "Shoot, shoot, shoot." "Huy rrup!"

"We don't have to worry about coming back here next year and putting up with all this again." "Hold on, brother." " Back in Gonzales..." " Glenn has spent all day raising his house to protect it from flooding." "Just a quarter inch short, he needs some help for the final push." " Oh, yeah, it's gonna be good enough to eat."
