As historic floodwaters from the north swallow the bayou, Troy and Pickle struggle with drowned lines, until a lesson from a late swamp legend gives them a fighting chance.

The swamp's in chaos as days of northern flooding give way to a sudden, dramatic water drop, pushing territorial bulls into new battlegrounds and leaving hunters scraping bottom at every turn.

Troy rallies the Landry fleet with a bold 17-gator quota per boat, pushing every team to the breaking point as dropping water levels raise the stakes. Ronnie and Timmy make a risky call, abandoning the marsh for the deep swamp in search of bigger catches.

As a drastic drop in water levels scrambles the swamp, Mr. Daniel challenges Zak to haul in an unheard-of 100 feet of gator. Bruce and Anna flee crushing boat traffic and wind up deep in a remote slough.

As historic high water floods the swamps, Troy puts Pickle to the test, sending her on a grueling solo mission after an all-night hog hunt.

On the hottest day of gator season, a brutal heat wave pushes Louisiana's hunters- and their gear – to the brink.

Jacob and Little Willie hunt a legendary cannibal gator known as Bone Crusher. Bruce and Anna hide their lines to stay one step ahead of poachers, forcing Bruce to rely on his uncanny swamp memory to find them again.

With gators wising up to the hunter's tricks, swampers must get creative to fill tags. Joey and Kallie chase down the legendary "Poseidon" through deep water and shattered lines. Troy and Pickle gamble on an old-timer's hot tip in a remote bayou.

As gator season races to the finish line, it's time for hunters to put up or shut up. Leron and Porkchop follow a trail of bent hooks and broken branches to hunt down the infamous monster gator, known as Freddy Krueger.
