As a historic heatwave roasts the swamp, hunters unleash bold new strategies to fill their boats and come out of the bayou in one piece. King of the Swamp Troy Landry relies on his swamp ingenuity to find the coolest water in the bayou.

Desperate to gain an upper hand on Mother Nature, hunters rethink their strategies, and push into new locations armed with brand new weapons. Ronnie moves his lines out of the scorching marsh and into the shaded cypress swamps.

A relentless drought and sweltering temperatures drop water levels to their lowest point in decades, and access to the best honey holes in the swamp are nearly impassable. Hunters take huge risks to fill tags.

As the season hits full stride, alligators begin changing their behaviors--and the hunters must adjust to stay one step ahead. Joey and Zak swap their trademark weapons (treble hook vs. fishing rod) to see who can nab the biggest bulls.

As gator season approaches the halfway point, Troy and Pickle hunt a haunted honey hole with a checkered past. Bruce searches for the monster threatening a local swimming hole. Leron tests a new twist on an age-old baiting strategy.

Midway through gator season, hunters aim to settle old scores. Willie chases a nasty gator called Renegade who lives up to his name. Ronnie pulls double duty when Timmy arrives with his arm in a sling. Anna surprises Ashley by making a bet with Don.

As gator season roars into its final weeks, Ronnie challenges Troy's title as King of the Swamp. The Landry's battle a poacher and race to make up for losses.

As the full moon drives gators into a feeding frenzy, Ashley makes a crucial mistake. Daniel chases a legendary 13-footer called Triple XL. Troy and Pickle battle a moon-crazed menace with a taste for gator.

As gator season enters its final week, Troy attempts to train the next generation of Landry hunters. Ronnie calls upon Timmy's knowledge of secret honey holes to catch up on his tag count.

As gator season enters the homestretch, Troy and Pickle chase a hook breaking monster. Wille and Little Willie set an ambitious goal to turn their season around.

As pressure mounts in the swamp, Troy and Pickle risk their lives in the oil fields. Joey and Zak attempt to knock Mr. Daniel off his throne, but the Edgar Patriarch refuses to go down without a fight.

With just three days left in the season, a cold front sends gators into hiding. Willie and Little Willie split up for the first time ever to cover more ground, and Little Willie feels the pressure of being his own Captain.

On the final day of the season, the lingering cold front is giving gators "lock jaw" at the worst possible time.
