king of the swamp troy landry and his deckhand pickle plan to hunt an area
troy calls the boneyard where monster alligators are just one of the threats lurking underwater
this is what they call the bone yard it's full of old cypress skeletons in here they cut them trees
down over 100 years ago but not all the big stumps are right under the water right on their wall
right where you can't see them huh you can't see them it's very hard on your equipment going to the
barnyard there's stumps and knocked down trees and dead trees and cypress needs buskios everywhere
but it's a place where you look at big alligator this world going through
hey you they got a big one right here in front of you watch what you're doing huh hey
look what are you doing it's real scary trying to navigate through them cipher stumps and
anything could happen we could flip this boat over and put a lot of water in the boat real quick
i'll see you thailand grab your pool
grab the lawn i'm gonna back up this is kids it's a big one you got jump i really ain't got no idea
what we got oh
wow
yeah yeah we'll take him he's not a big big one but we take him we ain't going home empty
that's it hey what i'm talking about this nine footer is a solid start
petroleum pickle will have to catch many more to justify the risks of coming here
hold on here hold on this year for some reason the water's a little bit lower than normal
five or six inches the difference in the water makes a big difference
can i fit in here you think you could try but you can
you're gonna get stuck let's try to push with the pool see if we can get off or if we own a stump or
something i'm gonna grab my local yeah on three let's try to rock the boat on three four i got
the stump down now if we can move a little bit huh yeah ready on three give it a big push two
there we go then we go push push push all right i think we got it normally this place is always
hard and with the water loo like it is right now i feel that we're kind of pushing our look
grab that launch you wish on it hurry
nothing nothing oh i don't know about that oh yeah we got something that's a big old boy
you got it come on bring him up
oh look at that that's a big old boy
watching whoa whoa watch him give that shot
now the fun began
all right put that head towards the front of the boat this foot right down
this 400 pound monster helps fill the boat but the added weight will make it even more
difficult to navigate the shallow water i'm happy that we're catching more but
we're running into a lot more trouble now but no risk no reward no guts no glory that's what i see
oh finally into open water alligator line right here the hole is down and against the bank
be careful pickle you see something oh i don't know watch it now be careful
there's a big old boy back there is he dead he looks mean okay watch it now he could be
playing possum right there even though he's not moving be careful true there oh watch him
lord of mercy possum huh yeah he was playing possum well he got the line all tangled up
okay listen i'm gonna put him real slow all right and just kind of lift up the head a
little bit so he don't get tangled up okay all right try to pull him down to the water
okay you ready he's coming yeah he's coming
he looks like a nice one now i should think he is nine and a half if we lucky thing
on three ready one two three
okay one more time let me grab this leg you grab that one got to pick up in it one two three
all right good job it's a little dangerous back here but
we ain't doing too bad shorty we always catch good here always
i see a thai line grab your pool and grab the lawn he's hung up yeah he's hung up
oh my god had you seen his tail it looked like a giant i'll tell you what
he's tangled up by get you going that's a big one i think sure lord you're going
let's get it get ready
it's a big one
yeah he's fighting got our hands full here girl my god
this massive 550 pound bull gator is the biggest today another reward to justify the risks they've
been taking pull as hard as you can on that leg and i'm gonna pull all right ready one two three
put that leg down at the end of the disc a lot of
trouble it's a lot of hard work it's hard on your equipment it's hard on us but we always
always catch good we never have a dry run when we come to this area all right good job
i think we ought to quit while we're ahead starting to get a little deep right here let's
get the hell out of here hold on in case i hit something there's still a lot of stumps in here
you
