As gator season approaches the halfway point, Troy and Pickle hunt near a haunted honey hole with a checkered past; Bruce searches for the monster threatening a local swimming hole.

As gators hide deeper in the swamp, the hunters launch into full pursuit. Ronnie and Timmy chase a legendary gator that's been on the run for years. Willie Edwards and his son Little Willie head to an isolated body of water to chase a behemoth.

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.

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. Facing the prospect of losing thousands of dollars, hunters take huge risks.

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, but soon finds himself going toe-to-toe with the King of the Swamp. Ashley gambles on a journey deep into unfamiliar territory behind a locked gate. Daniel tests out a brand new pheromone-soaked bait to attract giant bull gators. Determined to get gators from the warm waters to the buyers as fast as possible, Willie snipes every gator he sees, but his son demands his own shot.

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. With the heat index pushing a record-setting 126 degrees, King of the Swamp Troy Landry relies on his swamp ingenuity to find the coolest water in the bayou. Jacob risks losing his entire day's catch as he runs his lines in reverse. Joey and Zak attempt to chase big gators in cool, open waters, but their treble hook strategy hits an early roadblock. Ronnie pushes himself to the limit in the scorching marsh and threatening to bring his season to an early end.

King of the Swamp Troy Landry attempts a grueling double shift, running lines both morning and evening. Joey tests out his father's airboat with Zak, hoping it will grant them access to deep water holes. Despite his age, Daniel Edgar puts it all on the line to catch the biggest gator in the family. After forgetting their rifle bullets, Ashley and Anna have no choice but to fill their boat with only a five-shot pistol and Anna's bow.

Mother Nature levels the playing field this alligator season, unleashing a host of challenges that push hunters to new limits. Water levels have plummeted to unprecedented lows, as temperatures soar to scorching new heights. In response, the hunters try new strategies. King of the Swamp Troy Landry launches a daring plan to bag a hundred gators on the first day. Ashley "Deadeye" Jones returns for her second season as Captain, armed with a hit-list and an unbeatable strategy. Ronnie and Timmy try to defy the odds, by returning to locations that delivered last season. And Leron and Porkchop try for a personal best, vying to break their record for most gators nabbed in one day.
