The Swamp People featured in this History series are the proud descendants of French Canadian refugees who settled in the swamp region of Louisiana in the 18th century. Cameras follow members of this fiercely independent group as they struggle to preserve their way of life in the Atchafalaya Basin during the most important time of the year for them: alligator-hunting season.
At the dawn of a new season, flash-flood chaos from hundreds of miles north sends the bayou into a tailspin.
As historic floodwaters from the north swallow the bayou, Troy and Pickle struggle with drowned lines, until a lesson from a late swamp legend gives them a fighting chance.
The swamp's in chaos as days of northern flooding give way to a sudden, dramatic water drop, pushing territorial bulls into new battlegrounds and leaving hunters scraping bottom at every turn.
Troy rallies the Landry fleet with a bold 17-gator quota per boat, pushing every team to the breaking point as dropping water levels raise the stakes. Ronnie and Timmy make a risky call, abandoning the marsh for the deep swamp in search of bigger catches.
As a drastic drop in water levels scrambles the swamp, Mr. Daniel challenges Zak to haul in an unheard-of 100 feet of gator. Bruce and Anna flee crushing boat traffic and wind up deep in a remote slough.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
