Swamp People

As the season opens, the King of the Swamp, Troy Landry, finds himself going head-to-head with Mother Nature. The water in the basin is higher than it's ever been, pushing the monsters into inaccessible back ponds and woods. On top of that, a cold front has moved into Louisiana making conditions even worse. As he and his family brace for what could be their worse season ever, the King discovers more bad news; R.J. and Jay Paul have invaded his area, using their airboat to get to the gators that are out of his reach. Over in Hammond, Bruce Mitchell prepares to start his second season without his beloved hunting dog Tyler. His partner, Ron Methvin thinks he has a great surprise for Bruce, but when they meet up, the plan blows up and puts their partnership to the test. And, at the end of the first day of gator hunting, Troy makes an announcement that rattles his family to the bone.

After his worst start to alligator season ever, a desperate Troy does the unthinkable, bringing in outside help over the objections of his sons Jacob and Chase and his brother, Guy. The Edgar family, a Creole family from the south, has come to the rescue but can they save Troy's season from disaster? Or will their presence divide the Landry's? Over in Hammond, Ron is determined that his puppy Gunner is going follow in the footsteps of Bruce's dog Tyler and become their new gator dog. But in order to get a place on the boat, he'll have to prove himself first. And a duo known as "Salt and Pepper" makes their debut into the fray. Armed with unorthodox methods and an unshakable faith in God, they're determined to get their piece of the pie.

Despite his worst start ever, The King of the Swamp is determined to fill his 500- plus tags this year. Armed with the help of fellow swamper Daniel Edgar's family, he takes on the high water and cold weather in true Cajun fashion. Meanwhile, Frenchy Crochet and Gee Singleton's best laid plans literally blow up in their face. Will it end their season before it gets started? And in Houma, R.J. and Jay Paul continue their fast start to the season and reveal a family secret.

Despite help from The Edgar family, The King of the Swamp, Troy Landry is still behind on his tag count. The Edgars have headed home and now Troy must dig deep to rally his troops if he hopes to tag out this season. Back on their home turf, Daniel, Joey and Dorian Edgar are ready to fill their boats with gators but unforeseen forces complicate their mission. And Glenn Guist is always right at home in the swamp, putting food on the table in surprising and "Guisty" ways.

Willie Edwards is back and this year he's striking out on his own. Armed with his trademark treble hook, this solo hunter is blind-sided by the biggest monster he's ever taken on--and it's war. Down south, Daniel Edgar is facing his own battle as he attempts to take down a foe that has haunted him for years. In Houma, an injury may put an end to R.J.'s season. And the Salt and Pepper team of Frenchy and Gee dig deep into their faith as Frenchy sets out after a beast that has been torturing him in his dreams.

When Daniel Edgar's boys show up late and hung-over, the party quickly comes to an end. Troy does battle with a poacher, as Willie risks it all to get the biggest gator he's ever hooked. Over in Hammond, Ron pushes to get the puppy a second chance with Bruce.

Troy uses an old family secret to change his luck. R.J. and Jay Paul square off with the Edgar family as they hunt the same territory, and Glen Guist practices "Swamp Medicine" and pays tribute to his brother, Mitch.

Troy and his family push their season to the limit when they gamble on a new territory. R.J. goes solo and comes face to face with the truth. Bruce puts Ron's puppy to the test and Frenchy and Gee head to hog heaven.

Troy answers the code of the swamp and helps out an old-timer with his lines. Jacob's brother, Chase, is a no-show, putting the Landry's behind. Ron's puppy, Gunnar, finally gets his chance to prove himself and Dorien faces his biggest challenge yet.

Troy faces off with a cannibal gator that threatens to ruin his season. In Houma, Jay Paul edges closer to taking over the Molinere gator-hunting operation. Over in Pierre Part, Chase struggles to redeem himself and in Gonzales, Glenn Guist does battle with "the leaning house of Louisiana".

Troy and Guy stalk what could be their biggest gator of the season. In Houma, Jay Paul makes a bad call that could cost him and his father big bucks. In Franklin, Daniel Edgar's obsession gets the best of him and Glen Guist uses a swamp trick to get his boat to a favorite fishing hole.

Troy and Guy race to fill tags as the end of the season looms near. Jacob and Chase have a surprise encounter fishing in their backyard. The Edgars hit a cold streak as their lines come up empty and Bruce and Ron put puppy Gunnar to the ultimate test.

The Landry's race to tag out on the last day of the season, but they've got company, as R.J. and Jay Paul invade their territory looking to tag out themselves. And the Edgars attempt to catch their last haul of gators...with a little help from their friends.
