The episode starts with Troy Landry and his sons, Jacob and Chase, who face a tough challenge to catch a giant alligator that has been wreaking havoc in their local area. The massive reptile seems to be elusive and dangerous, constantly avoiding the traps set by the seasoned hunters.

Meanwhile, another legendary alligator hunter, Glenn Guist, is on the hunt for a different kind of prey. He's searching for a massive catfish that has been stealing fish from his traps. Glenn is determined to catch this monster fish to prove that he's still the king of the swamp.

Back to Troy and his sons, who finally get a lucky break when they receive a tip from a local fisherman about the whereabouts of the giant alligator. The trio enters deep into the swamp to find the animal, and soon, they come face to face with it. The hunters are in for a surprise as they discover that the alligator is larger than they ever imagined. A fight between man and nature ensues, and the outcome could be life-threatening.

Later in the episode, viewers are introduced to a new hunter called Randy Edwards. Randy is an outsider to the Cajuns and has a reputation for being a party animal. However, he's always had a fascination for hunting alligators, and he's finally getting a chance to test his skills in the swamps.

Randy is accompanied by Bruce Mitchell, who takes him under his wing to show him the ropes. The duo sets out on the hunt, and Randy soon realizes that this is no easy task. The conditions are tough, and the alligators are smart and unpredictable. Randy must prove himself to Bruce and earn his respect if he wants to succeed.

As the day comes to an end, Troy and his sons are still deep in the swamp, trying to catch the giant alligator. They've been at it for hours, and exhaustion is starting to set in. Suddenly, the alligator takes the bait, and the hunters spring into action. It's a tense and dangerous battle as they try to reel in the enormous reptile without getting hurt.

In the end, everyone returns to shore with their catches, tired but victorious. The Cajun hunters once again prove that they are the masters of the swamp, and that nothing can stop them from their hunt. The episode ends with a preview of the next adventure, leaving viewers wanting more.
