NARRATOR: Swamp legends Troy Landry and Terral Evans are
beginning their day on Fil Bayou,
where Troy's friend Chick has reported an invasion
of giant bull gators.
Chick is a good friend of mine.
I've been knowing him all my life.
And some of the biggest alligators
out there live right around Chick's camp.
TROY: Good god.
A big one?
NARRATOR: In Louisiana, incidents
of alligator attacks over the last 10 years are on the rise.
TROY: And we have to defend and protect our community.
Yeah.
Because you can't watch them enough, them kids.
You can try to watch them and keep an eye on them.
But the minute you go and--
And that alligator's going to be waiting for them
right there, waiting to strike.
After something happens, you can't take it back.
OK, Chick.
All right, buddy.
All right.
--go and see if we can find this alligator, track him down,
and get him out of there--
[dramatic music] Come on.
Let's go.
TERRAL: Troy, look, look, look, look, look.
Oh, Lord.
[grunting]
[suspenseful music]
TROY: Woo!
TERRAL: Whoa!
TROY: Woo!
TERRAL: Whoa!
Watch it, Troy!
[gunshot]
TROY: Woo!
TERRAL: Whoa!
Come on, old Henry.
Woo, that sucker pulling hard.
[gunshot]
TROY: Woo!
1, 2, 3.
Nice alligator.
He's a mature alligator.
He's one I'm happy to take out of that area.
So we need to go and see if we can get him out of here
before something really bad happens.
[dramatic music]
TERRAL: Troy, Troy, Troy, on the bank-- on the bank.
TROY: Oh!
TERRAL: That's an 11-foot alligator, man.
[suspenseful music]
Kill him, Troy.
Put a bullet in him.
[gunshot]
Woo!
He hammered it!
Dead-eye Troy.
Ha, ha!
Uh-huh.
Woo, Lord have mercy!
Man.
That's what I'm taking about.
TERRAL: Yeah?
TROY: Right here.
TERRAL: Look how close he is to that fence he's building.
TERRAL: Oh, most definitely.
TROY: Wow.
You ready?
1, 2, 3!
[grunting]
We had to put a line right on top of him,
and we were very fortunate to catch him.
It makes me feel good to get that big alligator out of there
because, you know, it's going to make this place a lot safer.
It's going to make it a lot safer
for Chick and his grandkids.
We got him.
TERRAL: Gonna clear this out, baby.
TROY: Right next to his camp.
Chick's gonna be happy with this.
