The hidden world of the Atchafalaya Swamp is their Eden. It’s a terrain where nature rules - and history lives. Master gator hunters Troy Landry and Junior Edwards return for a second season of survival Cajun-style deep in the bayous of the Louisiana wilderness. Danger and excitement abound, along with a rich tradition of language, food, music and generations of shared family experience. A colorful cast of characters use techniques dating back to frontier days to live off the land, catching everything from frogs to squirrels and raccoons. Men who make gumbo and snag gators with their bare hands make HISTORY every day on SWAMP PEOPLE.
The gator hunters face a new season that will prove to be more challenging than the last. Troy returns with his son Jacob. Joe and Tommy plan on setting new records, hoping that their “shake and bake” bait seasoning will bring in more gators. Junior and Willie have more tags than ever before, and to accommodate them, they’re going to need a bigger boat, but even that has its own set of problems. Also: Terral Evans is introduced - while others hunt gators during the day, he catches gators alive at night as a gator wrangler, risking life and limb with every catch with his bare hands.
Only a few days into gator season, Troy and Jacob have over 300 tags remaining. With hopes of picking up the pace, they head toward a new honey hole — an area with evidence of many large gators. R.J. and his son J. Paul soon find evidence of a destructive gator named “Dozer”…an alligator known to rip up the banks like a bulldozer. Also: Joe and Tommy continue their blistering pace as they set out to hunt…but when they have a large gator on the line, Tommy’s mistakes cost them big time.
Troy and Jacob struggle without their old sharpshooter Clint, frustrating the boys. R.J. and J. Paul continue to blaze a trail, threatening to steal Troy’s crown as “King of the Swamp”. R.J. decides to move the hunt three hours away to an old honey hole. To get there—across rough terrain in remote corners of the swamp—they’ll use a secret weapon: an airboat. Meanwhile, veteran solo hunter Bruce Mitchell starts his own season, and he loves to hunt alone, not counting his trusty dog, Tyler. Also: Junior and his crew are speeding along the bayou faster than ever, but they would soon realise that more speed means more danger.
To get back on track after the departure of their sharpshooter, Clint, Troy enlists the help of a lady gator hunter who’s good with a gun, Liz Cavalier. Also: Bruce began the season solidly, racking up the gators and filling tags; but then, his dog Tyler suddenly goes missing. Meanwhile, Joe gets increasingly frustrated when Tommy’s behavior disrupted their momentum. Now, a monster gator is popping their lines, and the boys are determined to get him. As the sun sets, Terral and Trapper Agent Corey Hunt are on the trail of a large gator that’s been menacing the locals.
Troy is benefitting from his new partner, Liz - on her first day, Liz showed her skills, but Troy’s goal is to catch 25 gators, and there are still a lot of gators to catch. Also: R.J. and J. Paul captured an impressive gator count so far but it all changes when R.J.’s lines are the target of a poacher. Junior decides to send Willie out on his own, as captain of his own boat, hoping that a tag team tactic would net more gators; however, pleasing Junior won’t be as easy as it sounds. Meanwhile, Brothers Glenn and Mitchell Guist, born and raised on the bayou, are hunting and fishing, with and a unique way of getting business done.
After a rough start to the season, Troy is back in the groove, and on pace to fill his 320 tags, thanks to Liz; but during a capture, Liz is injured, putting Troy’s momentum in doubt. Also: loner Bruce hires a greenhorn named Nick, a local kid who wants learn the craft from a master, to join him on a hunting expedition, but when the kid makes a mistake that could cost Bruce his season, Bruce wishes he was still alone. Meanwhile, Joe and Tommy comes up against a massive, aggressive cannibal gator. Then: when the Guist Brothers' food supply is low, they decide to hunt rabbit, using only Glenn’s intuition to find the game.
As a severe storm nears Southern Louisiana, the hunters prepare for the worst. With his sharpshooter Liz still recovering from an injury, Troy and Jacob employ an old Cajun strategy, a special bait to lure the gators despite the storm. Joe becomes incensed when Tommy chose to take a day off, while Joe believes that every day during gator season is a work day, as long as there are tags that need to be filled. But with a storm brewing, Joe is determined to run their lines in any weather, and drags Tommy along with him. Meanwhile, Jay Paul dreamed about catching a large gator in the storm, a dream that may soon become reality. But while the rest of the swampers head to their lines, Junior and Willie are taking theirs down, believing that fighting the storm is not worth the money or effort as long as they’re on pace to tag out.
Liz, who was on the mend following her injury, returns to Troy’s boat. As they both set out on the hunt together, they got a tip from an older Creole gentleman that a monster gator, nicknamed “T-Rex”, has killed a dog and is threatening locals. To catch him, Troy and Liz must board their own pirogue, a rickety wooden contraption ill-prepared to handle a large gator. Meanwhile, after a ton of rookie mistakes on Nick’s first day, Bruce puts Nick to the test and challenges Nick to show him what he’s learned. Also: Willie is captaining his own boat, but when Willie reaches his first line he realizes he’s brought along the oldest shotgun in the arsenal. Willie must find a way to bag gators and fill his tags before Junior ends his days as captain. Later that night, Terral has the day off and sets out to catch catfish by noodling — jumping into the swamp and grabbing the fish with his bare hands.
Joe and Tommy are out at work at night, scouting for a new honey hole, but while they’re looking for gators, they find another valuable side-benefit - shrimp; they head off hoping to bag a boatload before sunrise. Also that night, Terral, his wife Dana and their friends search of the fabled monster of the Honey Island Swamp. R.J. and Jay Paul search for a poacher that is stealing their gators, but their night plan to find the thieves comes to a standstill when the engine dies and the duo waits for rescue in the dark. Then: Willie goes nighttime snake hunting to make extra money at night while hunting for gator by day. Meanwhile, frogging under the full moon is a Landry family tradition: Troy, Jacob and Troy’s dad Mr. Duffy head out in search of tomorrow’s dinner. Later that night, the Guist Brothers, who know the swamps as well as anyone, found themselves getting turned around in the dark.
Liz offers some of her own hunting ideas to Troy; Willie heads out to hunt solo; R.J. and Jay Paul’s lines come under attack by a vicious cannibal gator; a large hog encroaches on Terral’s property.
Tommy screws up again and oversleeps, forcing Joe to hunt by himself. Troy still has over 100 tags to fill and tries to use all hours of the day to fill them. Bruce and Nick are after a notorious gator, nicknamed “Lucifer”, who dwells in an area known in Cajun lore as The Devil’s Swamp. But the hunt becomes personal when Bruce’s faithful dog, Tyler, falls overboard, leading Bruce to catch him before the gator does.
With only eight days left in the season, the old hot spots are completely fished out. To stay in the game, hunters venture into new grounds. Troy moves his lines every 3 to 4 days to a new area of the swamp. Junior and Willie are headed to a new pond that is teeming with big gators, but the waters in this canal are too shallow, leading to Junior to take a risk with his boat and his engine. Meanhile, tensions between Joe and Tommy escalate when Tommy didn’t show up for work yesterday, even more so when they run their lines and find that they are all empty; Joe believes had Tommy been at work, they would have already run these lines and moved to more populated waters. Then: Glenn and Mitchell are in the mood for squirrel for supper, so they head into the swamp to hunt squirrels.
After more than twenty years working together, Joe and Tommy have decided to part ways, and split the remaining tags amongst themselves. To fill Tommy’s shoes, Joe hires an up and coming hunter named Timmy. Meanwhile, Tommy decides to hire his old friend Steve. While Joe and Timmy continue business as usual like it was a business, the mood is a lot looser for Tommy and Steve, until they find out that gator hunting is serious business that needs to be treated seriously. And with only days left in the season, both teams need to succeed in order to tag out on time. Also: after spending most of the season fishing apart to fill their tags, Junior and Willie are reunited on the same boat, for good reason: Willie spotted a monster gator on the bayou, nicknamed “Moby”, which could be the biggest gator anyone has bagged this season. Then: when R.J. and Jay Paul head to a favorite honey hole, they discover they’re not alone - duck season has begun, and this area is the duck hunters’ own honey hole.
After starting the season with more tags than anyone, Troy’s ahead of the game, and on pace to tag out by season’s end, but the landscape at his favorite honey hole has changed drastically and water lilies are now clogging the entire area, leading to Troy to find an alternate plan. Across the bayou, Joe’s hunting with his new helper, a pistol marksman named Timmy, and so far, the team is working well. Then: Tommy is again captaining his own boat, trying to fill Joe’s tags and prove he’s an elite hunter. But soon, engine troubles threaten to derail the day and Tommy’s tenure as captain could be in jeopardy. Meanwhile: Glenn and Mitchell are again squirrel-hunting, to get the meat needed for their dad’s Famous Squirrel and Dumplings.
In the race to the finish, Troy is on pace to tag out early, until engine problems suddenly stall the hunt, forcing Troy to return to the dock for repairs. Also: as Junior and Willie head to new hunting grounds, they’re hopeful momentum will continue to be on their side, but when it’s time to bag a beast, Junior realizes he’s forgotten the guns. Meanwhile: Bruce and Nick are down to a handful of tags with the finish line in sight, but suffered a setback when they find that a gator on one of the lines they pulled up was mutilated by a cannibal. Then: R.J. and Jay Paul have an ambitious plan to finish on time: using two boats, fishing 150 lines over more territory, but to tag out by season’s end, they’ll need to catch a boatload in a hurry. Meanwhile: Joe and Tommy bury the hatchet, reuniting for the final push of the season, with Tommy having a better grasp at the situation.
It’s the final day of the season, and hunters are in a hurry to fill their remaining tags before time runs out. As Troy and Junior head to run lines for the final time, the bayou is buzzing of sightings of a giant gator in the area; both men set their sights on the beast, to win bragging rights in a bayou showdown. Also: Joe and Tommy are feeling a different kind of pressure, when rain soaks their supply of bullets, and they’re too far out in the bayou to head back to the dock for more, forcing themselves to make every shot count with no margin for error. Then: R.J. and Jay Paul are on pace to tag out to finish by day’s end, with sunny skies and smooth water ahead.
