As Tropical Storm Lee gets closer to the Louisiana coast, the hunters rush to complete their hunt and get home safely before the storm arrives; not only do they fear for the safety of themselves and their loved ones, they also fear for an early end to gator season, due to the colder waters storms bring. Troy and Clint race across Lake Verret in hopes of catching more gators on the other side, but the high winds, waves and rain may sink their boat and leave them stranded in the middle of the lake. Jacob continues the hunt as well, but finds himself short-handed without Chase, who was recovering at home after getting a hook stuck in his foot. Bruce and Ron explore uncharted territory when high waters flood the surrounding land, but when they caught a yellow gator, they also caught a bad superstition, as they found themselves dodging sunken trunks, a tornado and venomous insects, on top of getting lost. Austyn and Blake continue the gator hunt for their buyer, and finds a gator that meets his expectations -- however, in order to shoot it, they must step on a huge fire ant hill. And Joe and Tommy race to run their lines before the storm comes in, but the longer they stay out, the less chance they'll make it back alive -- and when they do, they still had to get their place and their families ready for the storm.

As the season marches on, the job of saving the public from rogue gators is more important for gator hunters than hunting for sport. And some that were hunting for sport face challenges that may cause them not to tag out by the end of the season. R.J. and Jay Paul are on a hunt for a one-eyed monster gator that is threatening a day camp for children, but when all efforts to get the gator eluded them, they used for bait the guts of another gator -- which was mauled to death earlier by the monster gator. T-Roy, days before the start of Texas' gator season, hunt a nuisance gator of his own, but all by himself, as Bigfoot continues to recover from his hernia. Junior and Douggie are on their hunt, though Junior's back injury may bring the day -- and the season -- to an early end. And when Liz and Jessica saw that no gators were taking the bait, they started hunting for blackbirds, which they would use as bait, in hopes that the gators find them to be more delectable.

Two weeks into the season, the hunters are starting to show fatigue, but they soldier on anyway to keep on pace to tag out at the end of the season, despite the difficulties. Jacob was a little perturbed when Chase overslept that morning, showing up late for the hunt, as well as failing to keep on top of his game. Bruce is also having trouble with his hunting mate, Ron, as he missed shots and failed to load his gun at a time when it was needed most. Liz and Jessica, hoping to concentrate more on size than numbers, experience numerous problems when a gator breaks a line, stealing their treble hook, then later, Liz's gun was empty as she tried to fire at another gator. And Junior and Willie's partnership as gator hunters comes to an end after a very frustrated day, which peaked when bullet fragments accidentally hit Willie; having enough, Willie decides to quit, despite Junior still holding 175 tags to be filled.
Four days remaining in the season, Troy and Brandon use an ATV to go deep into the woods to hunt a gator that is threatening the other gators in his honey hole. Junior and Theresa team up with Willie and Randy in a concerted effort to tag out early that day; if they succeed in doing so, Theresa will get a steak dinner cooked by Junior. T-Roy and Bigfoot are also poised to tag out early, but with only five tags remaining, it is their last chance to break the Texas state record for the largest gator caught. And Terral and Johnny's season came to an abrupt end when, as they were just beginning their hunt that day, Terral was notified that his mother had a stroke.

With just a week left in the season, the gators have mysteriously stopped biting, and the hunters suspect that it's the full moon that's driving the gators to early hibernation. Swampers fight back with their own tried and true tactics, from hunting in new territories, to a traditional Cajun bait called "shake and bake".
In Pecan island, the "Team Liz" group split up, after planning where to go to catch the most gators; of greatest concern was Justin and Glenn, both of whom only have minor experience in gator hunting. Bruce is reunited with his hunting partner Ron, after his family duties had ended, but the reunion might only be brief after a piece of shrapnel hit close to Ron's eye as Bruce shoots a gator. And T-Roy and Bigfoot continue their mission to break Texas' gator record, trying to avoid the smaller gators in the process.
The $10,000 bounty deadline has arrived. One swamper returns from an injury in an attempt to win the bounty on the last day. Another hunter ventures to an area he has been saving all season while another team is in a mad dash to get their gator across state lines before the bounty deadline.
When boat traffic makes it impossible to run lines, hunters must adjust tactics and abandon plans in order to fill their tags. One team returns after a two-year hiatus and decides to hunt a remote area that forces them to cross the dangerous shipping lanes of the mighty Mississippi River. Another team avoids bounty hunters and boat traffic by travelling to a new and remote area called Boudreaux's Run, while another team hunts a waterway riddled with swells from tugboats and barges.
Halfway into the gator hunting season, the hunters work hard to catch up to make up for time lost to Tropical Storm Lee. Troy and Clint hunt for gator in the Intracoastal Waterway, but when finding unfavorable conditions there, they go to a lily-choked area called the "Gates of Hell", which live up to its name after getting stuck in the lilies and risking burning out their motor. Joe and Tommy find a honey hole in the midst of the higher waters, but when they caught a large gator the thrashing gator strikes Joe's arm, almost breaking it. R.J. celebrates his 50th birthday, and in celebration, he vows to catch 50 gators. Junior rethinks his strategy of using two boats to catch gators when he determines that the two-boat technique is costing him more money; as a result, he informs Willy and Randy that they'll lose their boat if they can't catch at least six gators that day, the least amount needed to make the two-boat technique economically-viable.
As the season enters its final week, the gator hunters begin to step up their game. However, some teams find themselves shuffling their roster once again. Glenn, who was working with Liz the last couple of days, will be leaving back for Gonzales the next day for family business, and despite their short stint, Liz is sad to see Glenn go already. But before they leave, they had to contend with an area of swamp that is dominated by a cannibalistic gator who eats other gators. But Liz won't be left without a partner, as Kristi, anxious to rejoin the hunt, had become free again to work for her. But before Glenn leaves, Liz gives him a token of appreciation -- one that will actually keep him company. Jacob will also be losing his partner, Marie, also for family matters, but while the hunt increases at a fever pitch, they accidentally wreck their rifle while capturing a gator. Jacob and Marie were also part of Troy's special challenge, where their goal is to capture 25 gators between the two groups. While both teams managed to accomplish that goal altogether, their season was already thrown into doubt when Troy sprained a muscle in his abdomen while hauling a freshly-killed gator aboard his boat. And David and Jeromy continue their search for The Beast of the East, hunting in a small pond accessible only by pirogue, but with only five tags remaining for the season, their chances of capturing The Beast is running out.
With two days remaining in gator season, the hunters do all they can to tag out by tomorrow. For some, it's a piece of cake; for others, it means working hard overtime. Joe and Tommy hunt a new spot that Tommy thinks is teeming with gators, gambling precious time in the process, because there's a chance that Tommy's hunch may be incorrect. R.J. and Jay Paul continue on their gargantuous trek to tag out in time, using a technique they call "stick and move" to speed up the process. Junior and Willie reunite to hunt on what they hope is their final day of the season by tagging out a day early, with one of their goals being to hunt down "Big Bertha", a 12-foot gator that has eluded Junior many times before. Liz and Kristi revisit Liz's father's old honey hole that they visited in the season's first episode, with hope that luck and her father's spirit are on their side. And Troy and Clint resume their own hunt, still facing 45 tags in two days, and Troy aims for 30 gators today. To accomplish this, they go to a remote bayou, in hopes that it has an abundance of gators.

"One of the biggest questions we’ve gotten in the last few years is 'When are you going to make a Ratchet & Clank movie?' The truth is, we’ve wanted to do a movie for a long time! Ratchet & Clank’s action, humor and galaxy-spanning adventures have really been the basis for a fantastic game series, and we think it’d translate perfectly to the big screen."

About a week and a half into the season, the hunters continue to find the biggest gator they could find during a shortened season. This is especially true for T-Roy and Bigfoot, who will be returning to Texas in a couple of days. They hunt in an area that was teeming with gators, except that their boat may be too big for the hunting grounds. Also: Troy and Brandon hunt in the Intracoastal Waterway, which is not only loaded with tankers and ships, but also with big gators. Meanwhile, Jacob and Chase return to The Gates to hunt "Jaws", a huge gator that they tried to hunt earlier, but got away. And Bruce and Ron hunt The Flats in hopes to reversing their string of bad luck that may not only cost them this season, but next season as well.
Into the second half of the hunting season, the hunters are finally hitting their stride; however, Mother Nature still calls the shots, putting a monkey wrench into the hunters' plans. The Landrys' prized honey hole is being devoured by a large sinkhole that was created by underground mining, and the lines that they set the day before are at risk of being devoured themselves, leading them to risk their lives to try to get all the lines -- and the gators they snagged. R.J. and Jay Paul return to their marshland to check the lines they set the night before, only to find that lilies have mysteriously appeared overnight, clogging the lines and making retrieving the gators more dangerous. Liz and Jessica look for the "Monster of Monster Marsh", a huge gator that had eluded Liz and her family since her childhood, but the hunt becomes extra risky as a thunderstorm approaches the area. And David and Jeromy continue their search for "The Beast of the East", having actually seen the gator in their sights, only for it to slip through when the battery in their outboard motor dies, leaving them stranded and miles from civilization.

As Tropical Storm Lee approaches the Louisiana coast, the hunters prepare for the worst, while trying to catch as much gators as they can before the storm makes landfall and conditions become too dangerous to hunt. The Landrys continue their two-boat method of hunting gators; however, while Jacob and Chase completed their hunt and made it back safely, Troy and Clint find themselves seeking shelter at an old fisherman's camp, as it become too dangerous to even return home.

Austyn and Blake have five tags to fill for their buyer, but not only they need to have them filled before the storm, they also have to move their houseboat to safety. And Joe, who's recovering from his back injury, rejoins Tommy on the gator hunt, hoping to take advantage of the time before landfall to increase their gator count, but as they are closer to the Gulf and the storm's center than the other hunters, they find themselves battling the elements with full force.

The gator season is in full swing, but circumstances forced the hunting teams to change partners. Troy, after losing Brandon last episode, steals Chase away from Jacob, but when they yielded only small gators in areas where Chase thought there were giants, he began to entertain second thoughts. Meanwhile, Jacob finds a new partner of his own, Marie Lacoste, a neighbor of his who was also a seasoned gator hunter; he finds out that Marie has hunting methods that he would have never thought of. Liz and Jessica return to Monster Marsh for their final day of hunting together, as Jessica will be returning back to her own job; but, as they say, they're saving the best for last, except that "the best" will be difficult to haul back on the boat, especially with their regular boat left behind and Liz still recovering from her surgery. And Jeromy and David take time out away from the marsh to fish out a nuisance gator from a Monroe resident's swimming pool, but the hunt turns bittersweet when the little girl asks what they were going to do with the gator after they catch it. And once they make a promise, they feel obligated to keep it.
About halfway into the first week, the big gators and the nuisance gators are still up for grabs, but some of the teams are starting to be frayed around the edges. David and Jeromy, already feeling the pinch of being together at all hours away from home, hunt a gator they call "The Albino Assassin", after finding a chewed-up carcass of an albino alligator. After efforts to catch the gator failed, Jeromy introduces a secret weapon -- a "gut cannon" designed to shoot out chicken offal, in hopes that the stench it emits would bring the gator within shooting range. Liz gets on Jessica's case after Jessica overslept, causing them to get a late start in the day's hunt. But while hunting for a huge gator they nicknamed "Macho Man", tensions between them flare up when they stumble all over each other while catching another gator. Jacob found himself hunting by himself after his assistant, Marie, was forced to leave the hunt early when she got sick. Marie's fears for Jacob were realized when a live gator jumped onto the boat, between Jacob and his gun. And in Texas, T-Roy and Bigfoot, while waiting for the start of gator season there, got a call to hunt a nuisance gator that had eaten one of their neighbor's dogs. But the hunt becomes a rather painful challenge when Bigfoot suffers from a hernia.

Hunters are forced to rely on life-long intuitions to take on Mother Nature. To avoid floodwaters, one team makes a life threatening decision to head deep into the swamp. Another team is forced to open water hunt after their territory is choked off by unexplainable swamp grass, while another hunter goes after a rogue gator that is threatening his children's lives. While running lines, Troy finds several hooks with the bait twisted off of them. He realizes that this is the work of a gator he calls "Twister" that he and his brother have been after for years.

With the final hours of the Bounty on the Bayou looming, two teams cross state lines in search of a prize-winning monster–hunting through the night in dangerous areas of Mississippi. A third team gets a second chance at success as the day comes to a close.

Midway into the hunting season, the hunters, desperate for help, are counting more and more on their assistants to catch as many gators as they can find, and as always, the bigger the better. Junior, still smarting from Willie's exit from the hunt, recruits his wife, Theresa, to be his assistant, but after a boating accident six years earlier, she is still hesitant to get back on the water, despite willing to do it for family. Jessica had a dream that a very large gator was snagged on the last line of the day, and was anxious to see if it came true, but Liz said that they had to check the other lines first. Tom has doubts on ZZ's abilities of being a gator hunter, as he frequently fools around and doesn't put away tools properly, but following a pep talk, ZZ goes up to bat when they caught a large gator. And David and Jeromy continue their search for "The Beast of the East", having a hunch that he's in a landlocked pond. But in order to get there, they had to trek across land. And Jeromy, though being brave around gators, is scared of snakes.
Troy and Guy, continuing their search for huge gators, are on the hunt for "The Beast of Grand Lake", a large gator that they were after long since their childhood. Willie's gator hunt is endangered when he finds that a cannibal gator is on the loose, killing and injuring other gators to a point where it would affect his payout. T-Roy and Bigfoot's gator season begins in Texas, where their goal of the season is to beat the state record for the largest gator captured. And Liz, suffering from a series of setbacks in the first half of the season and over 300 tags yet to fill, recruits her shrimper husband Justin, to help out with his boat. But he won't be doing it alone - Liz hires a friend she met last season, Glenn Guist, to help out.
Strange things have occurred in the swamp, to a point that the hunter's season could be delayed -- or even put to an early end. Roger and Johny hunt in an area called the "Devil's Ditch", a hard-to reach area that's abundant with gators, but also with bad luck, jammed guns, and water moccasins. Junior and Douggie hunt in their favorite honey hole, but found that it was choked with dead fish -- unusual, as it was during nice weather, and not following a storm; with the gators eating the dead fish, they are not taking the bait. Terral and Johnny look for a raccoon that took refuge in their fishing camp; the task becomes even harder to accomplish when the raccoon climbed into the fireplace and up the chimney. And Liz and Jessica suffer bad luck of their own when their rifle jams, only to get even worse when the boat propeller hits something hard, causing it to crack.

With less than a week remaining, the gator hunters go full speed ahead to hunt as much gator as they can. But their efforts become even more challenging when their honey holes get fished out and when they start feeling weary and sore after many days of continuous hunting. Jacob and Chase hunt in a honey hole they call "The Armpit"; while at first they thought it was going to be a lucky day , their luck suddenly runs out when their baited lines gone untouched and, at one point, they stumbled onto a hornet's nest. To turn their luck around, they used the remnants of their relatives' past hunts, figuring that the hunters of the past may know where the gators are. Liz and Kristi also continue the gator hunt, but with Liz's hands in pain and her body aching from handling the rope all season, she depends on Kristi more than ever to catch the gators, even if it means Kristi risking her life in doing so. Joe and Tommy visit a honey hole thought to be teeming with gators, but found out that a bull gator that they named "Big Jake" has driven all the gators away, and all their usual efforts in reining him in, including "shake and bake", don't work, leading them to resort to a special bait that Big Jake can't refuse -- shad. Junior's regular assistant, Malcom, sustained a foot injury while fishing for catfish, leading him to hire his cousin, Gerald, to take Malcom's place, but the day was thought to be all for nought when Gerald inadvertently scared away a large gator.

Hunters are forced to track down some extra shrewd gators–and trusted deckhands step up to save the day. One team has to outsmart a big gator by using an old fashioned boat decoy strategy. Another team tries uses an old floating bait technique, while another recruits another deckhand to help him get caught up after falling behind pace.

On this final day of gator hunting season, the hunters work as hard as possible to tag out in the face of an approaching cold front. And one rule that every hunter should know is to always have a "Plan B". Or in Liz's case, a "Plan Z", as, in order to fill their seven remaining tags, she and Kristi go to a honey hole that hadn't been fished in years, and for good reason -- it's been blocked by a levee. Troy and Chase also visit another honey hole of their own, as an easy way to fill their two last tags, but it's not as easy as it seems, as it's been choked by weeds and a beaver dam. R.J. and Jay Paul have doubts of filling their last nine tags after Jay Paul's dream involving muddy water, a bad omen in the Houma tribe, but an area teeming with gators, but long closed to hunting due to overgrowth, magically clears up. And Bruce and Ron, with only five tags to go at the start of the day , decided to call off the hunt with only one tag remaining when their trusty dog Tyler got sick, with Bruce choosing to end the hunt to get Tyler to the vet. But when they spotted a snagged gator on the way back, Bruce decides to catch it for his last tag, but suddenly becomes dangerous when Bruce attempts to unsnag the gator while on land.
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 come 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.
On the second day of gator season, the Landrys are not only struggling to catch gators, they're also struggling to find the biggest gator they can find, in order to win a bet made by Texas boys T-Roy and Bigfoot. While Troy and Brandon hunt in "The Armpit", Jacob and Chase hunt in a gated area of the swamp called "The Gates", where they hope to find the larger gators there. But even though they shoot a gator, it doesn't mean that the gator is either dead -- or wounded. Junior and Willie also began their gator hunt, but Willie questions Junior's ability when not only he let Willie do all the hard work, he also forgot the bullets to the gun, leading Willie to kill the gator the old fashioned way -- with a pocket knife. Bruce and Ron also start their hunt, but their day ended soon after it started when they not only faced closed exits on Interstate 55, but they find that their canal is clogged with Roseau cane, making passage impossible and even getting out just as impossible. And: Glenn Guist, whose home was flooded by Hurricane Isaac, takes time to remember his late brother, Mitchell, who died four months earlier of a heart attack.
Two days remain in the season, and the hunters prepare to go the limit to tag out for the season. But with a cold front fast approaching, there may be no tomorrow. One method used to hasten the path to the finish line is to split up. The Landrys split back up, with Troy and Chase hunting in the Bayou aux Allemands, an area accessible only by boat and lightly hunted. But if he fails to find gator there, it would be a wasted trip, wasted time, and even wasted tags. Junior and Willie reunite for the first time after the gun incident led to Willie hunting on his own, as tagging out for the family is more important; one sure fire way to catch gators is to use a new treble hook that Junior had made, but his wife, Theresa, fears that it may be too heavy. T-Roy and Bigfoot also split up to complete their hunt, but due to Texas laws, the number of poles cannot exceed the number of tags , making splitting up and their ingenuity a must. And Glenn and the gang finish work on Mitchell's houseboat, which, in their own way, they christened "Camp Mitchell".
As the swampers race toward the end of gator season, Tommy and Joe have a poacher after their catch and vow swamp justice. Meanwhile, Junior and Willie try different ways to earn cash: catching frogs and snakes.
Joe and Tommy come up against the notorious cannibal gator they call "Godzilla," when they discover smaller gators on their bait lines scarred with bite marks. Also: Mike's trying to pass down his vast swamp knowledge to his son T-Mike, while Troy's lines are empty, putting his season in jeopardy.
After the first week passed, some old friends return to help out, though getting used to the swamp again would prove to be a challenge. Chase returns from California to help out Jacob, after Jacob lost his previous assistant, Marie, last episode; however, Chase practically became a greenhorn once again as Jacob figured out that Chase was away from the swamp too long. But when spending a day without catching gators wasn't bad enough, things become more precarious when a hook snagged into Jacob, requiring them to get to the hospital immediately, an emergency mission that became even more dangerous when Jacob lost his key to the boat motor. Troy spends his last day with his assistant, Holden, as he returns to school tomorrow; they make it count by going on the hunt for a large gator called "The Monster of Lake Verret", and Troy makes it count by giving the hunting to Holden. Willie makes a treble hook that he felt would be lighter than the previous hooks, but be just as effective at snagging gators; however, Junior thought that such a design won't work, giving Willie a chance to prove him wrong. And Glenn and TK go hunting for turtle, an important ingredient for tonight's dinner: turtle sauce piquant.

With four days remaining in the season, the hunters do all they can to insure that they will tag out by the end of the season, hoping that they would take the title of "King of the Swamp". But in some cases, personal matters ended up tossing a wrench into the works. Troy and Clint put their own hunt on hold when they help a friend, Rebel, finish his hunt after his partner, Julius, died. But it becomes a challenge when not only they find themselves hunting in marshland , but also because the gators refuse to take the bait, leading to Troy to question if it was worth putting his own hunt on hold. R.J. and Jay Paul continue their hunt with full speed ahead, with only 71 out of 500 tags to go. Willie and Randy hunt for the last time this season as a team, as Randy's other profession -- fishing for buffalo fish -- is starting to gear up. And Bruce and Ron are not only enduring another fruitless day in the swamp, putting their season in doubt, Bruce's trusty dog Tyler is again getting sick, stemming from congestive heart failure that he suffered earlier, putting extra stress on Bruce.
In this season finale, on the last day of gator season, the hunters are within range of tagging out, and they give it all they got to ensure that they do. For the Landrys, it is especially important as, not only Troy was still contemplating about retiring at the end of the season, but also the fact that the Landrys have always tagged out, and failure is not an option. The family split a batch of the 12 remaining tags, of which Jacob and Chase use to hunt gators at a pond separated by a levee. Liz and Jessica are on their own to tag out with their 15 remaining tags, hunting for gator on land - a situation that's not only dangerous for Liz, but also especially dangerous for Jessica. And Terral and Johnny, whose season ended early due to Terral's mother's stroke, hunt for wild boar that they plan on cooking for the end-of-the-season party, of which Terral's mother is the guest of honor.
At this time of the gator season, the swamps are getting busy -- not only with the gator hunters, but for sportsmen looking for other animals to catch, leading them to find alternate plans. Bruce decides to take his dog Tyler out of retirement, as he felt that he needed someone to help him hunt. However, their hunting plans have gone awry when he noticed many other sportsmen going out to hunt or fish, leading him to visit an alternate spot that had gained results in the past: a methane-choked area called "Stinky Bayou". David and Jeromy, after finding out that the hunt in Raceland was not going well, move to swamp land near Violet, near New Orleans; however, things got tense when another hunter told them that they were hunting in the wrong place. But after the problem was resolved, they gave David and Jeromy a tip, to hunt in an area called "Gator Ghost Town", a community of fishing camps that was destroyed in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina. Troy and his brother, Guy, hunt for gator in The Shallows, an area where they hunted since they were kids. But while they caught numerous gators, Troy thinks about someday retiring from the sport and handing it over to his sons Jacob and Chase. Speaking of which, the junior Landrys are looking for a monster gator similar to what they caught this year, naming it "Jaws 2".

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.
As with Thanksgiving, the gator hunters have their own ideas to celebrate Christmas, aligned with Cajun culture. Troy and Jacob catch crabs for their Christmas dinner while Chase was working, only to discover that many of their traps were emptied, suspecting a poacher, until they found out that the poacher... was Chase. Later at the Christmas dinner, Troy appears as Papa Noël, the Cajun version of Santa Claus. R.J. and Jay Paul catch oysters and frogs for the tribe's Christmas feast, where Jay Paul gives his son a special gift that was passed down from generation to generation: a hunting rifle. And Liz and Justin's sons, Destin and Daimian, hunt their first deer, as part of a Christmas celebration that revolves around camouflage.
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.
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 disrupts 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.
Hunters journey into unknown, hostile areas of the swamp. One team, acting on a tip from a local buyer, heads to an area believed to be cursed. Another team visits a hazardous storm-altered marsh to fight numerous dangerous gators on dry ground, while another hunter is hell bent on hauling in 32 gators in one day.

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.
One team goes after a brash, one-eyed gator they have been after for years. Another hunter is forced to hunt alone and engages an aggressive bull gator that has been tripping his lines and bending his hooks, while another team has to hunt down a greedy gator that keeps stealing the bait off their lines.

A clip show special, featuring the gator hunters' memories of past episodes.

As Caroline and Elena host Thanksgiving at their dorm, Elena seeks ways to confess her vampirism to Liam. Stefan, Damon and Alaric go to Portland to contact the Gemini coven concerning the ascendant whilst trying not to give Elena hope. Kai takes Bonnie to the same location and tells her his parents called him an abomination and tried all they could to keep their home hidden. Damon and Alaric tease Stefan about Caroline's feelings for him prompting Stefan to kick Bonnie's Teddy bear into the air and uncloaking a house. Liam apologizes to Elena for false accusations after Jo had altered Lady Whitmore's medical track. Kai agrees to let Bonnie leave unharmed with his car if she has one last dinner with him. In a surprising turn of events it is revealed that Kai is Jo's twin brother, Luke and Liv are both siblings to them and stem from the same family. Kai killed his four siblings targeting Luke and Liv to be the Covens leader. While searching for answers, Damon meets Kai's father, Joshua, who casts another cloaking spell on him. As Damon wakes Joshua demands to know how he got out the trap of repeated hell and if Kai also knows the how to escape. The twins explain that there can not be two leaders in the coven and on their 22nd birthday one of them has to die. Joshua explains that he can not help Damon bring out Bonnie because if Kai escapes, he will be a problem to the world. He starts a spell to kill Jo and then tries to kill Damon but Stefan arrives in time to fend him off with a magic knife Jo spelled in 1994 while at the same time, Elena saves Jo with her blood much to Liam's shock whom she compels afterwards. Kai explains the logic of his exile to Bonnie, reveals the same spelled knife and sucks out its magic. He then tells Bonnie he does not need her anymore but needs her blood and stabs her. Tyler vows to protect Liv and Stefan tries to make peace with Caroline who hands him a gift. Elena and Damon discuss their relationship. Finally Bonnie recovers from the stab and discovers Kai took the car and left her there.

Roughly a week into the first season, and bad luck remains on the hunters' side all around. The swamps around Pierre Part is being invaded by poachers, stealing valuable gators that were caught by the hunters. However, the poaching problem was further exacerbated by other problems: Troy and Brandon confront T-Roy and Bigfoot for hunting on their turf, which they blame on bad advice from their source. In addition, when T-Roy and Bigfoot catch a sizable gator, another problem lurks overhead when a wasp's nest hovers above the catch site -- and T-Roy is allergic to insect stings with no antivenin on hand. Also: Bruce and Ron's bad luck continue when not only a dam made of Roseau cane was blocking the way, but Bruce's family's fishing camp, where the prize honey hole is located, was literally wiped out by Hurricane Isaac. And another team of hunters was introduced as seasoned hunter Tom mentors 16-year old ZZ, the son of a hunter who mentored Tom, as they search for gator in Lac des Allemands, near Thibodaux.

It's the hottest day of the year, and one bound to break records. But the high heat helps stir the gators into a frenzy, giving the hunters a potential for a bumper crop. However, the high heat also not only affects the health of the hunters, it also affects the dead gators, and time is of the essence in order to prevent the dead gators from being spoiled, making the catch worthless. Troy and Clint hunt for gators in Lake Verret, but as temperatures increase, they rush to get their early catch on ice at the buyers before continuing their hunt. Junior and Malcom treat the heat as a good luck charm, as Junior experienced success in the heat previously, but when they have nothing to cool down the dead gators, they try a method that they thought was risky: submerging the carcasses in water along the shore while they continue hunting. Liz and Kristi go to Bayou Black, where Liz first hunted when she was younger, but not only were they ill-equipped to keep the dead gators cool, they ran out of gas, stranding them in the marsh at the hottest time of the day. Bruce and Ron visit the Cypress Graveyard, a part of the swamp littered with dead cypress trees and hunting blinds for deer season, but not only do they risk the heat, but they also risk getting lost in a "maze" of bayous.

Nine days into the hunting season, the gator hunters desperately look for a good day of hunting, in the face of an already-lackluster start due to Isaac. Jacob and Chase got their chance, when they landed numerous gators. But Junior and Willie's efforts were slowed down when they had to rescue a pack of hunting dogs and a cow from the swamp, causing precious time to be lost. To add insult to injury, a gator they caught was not lead, leading it to bite Willie's fingers and crush his toe, leading to a trip to the hospital. Liz and Jessica try to land a large gator, but when the gator got away, not only did it break Jessica's fishing pole, it also broke her pride. Later, their engine broke when it struck a submerged log, putting their chances of tagging out in jeopardy. And as a cold front enters Northern Louisiana, Jeromy and David find a hot spot where gators are still thriving, except that it's not easily accessible, forcing the guys to enter in a small plastic pirogue with an outboard motor fashioned from a weed eater.
Three days remain in this gator hunting season, and the hunters are working hard under pressure to tag out in time. Troy and Clint, who have 45 tags of their own remaining, continue to work to help Rebel tag out himself, but it proves to be a challenge when the gators just steal their bait and leave, leading Rebel to create a solution to keep the gators where they are when they take the bait. R.J. and Jay Paul continue to work hard to tag out in their 500-tag season, but the hard work is taking a toll on R.J. mentally and physically, leading to Jay Paul to help his dad accomplish his goal. Joe and Tommy hunt a large gator they call "Fat Cat", but the gator eludes all efforts to be caught. leading to Joe using the "shake and bake" method. And Glenn and Mitchell fish for gar and gives some of their smoked catch to their sister, Tonya -- on the condition that she cooks them some turtle sauce piquant, using the turtles that they caught. But it's a task that becomes impossible when Tonya finds out that the turtles were snapping turtles.
One hunter battles poachers by setting lines with no locator ribbons and relies on the “Swamp GPS” in his head to find them. Another team has a tense stand off with a hunter in the swamp and salvage their day with some risky open water hunting, while a final team must take out a vicious bull gator that has been devastating the gator population on a land owner’s property.
Jacob and Chase look for a gator they call the "Son of Treebreaker", after another tree-breaking gator was spotted in the same area as a similar gator they caught last season, but it seems that the gator has eluded all of their attempts to catch him. R. J. and Jay Paul go to a "hive", an area of floating marsh, as a way to up their gator count for the day and to help R. J. take the "King of the Swamp" crown; however, to him, while every gator counts, size still matters. Willie and Randy go hunting on their own, but their father, Junior, takes away their treble hook, saying that using poles and bait are more effective. In defiance, the boys decided to make a new hook of their own, as a way to prove their father wrong; however, they wonder if doing so was actually worth the trouble. Then: Glenn & Mitchell go fishing for alligator gar, but they ended up catching an actual alligator, which they're not authorized to catch.

Damon and Elena try to get back her memories with no luck, Elena gives up and crosses the border but Damon grabs her in time that she does not die. Elena only remembers bits and pieces but not enough to love Damon again. Damon decides to let Elena go while dropping her off at her dorm. Meanwhile, Stefan and Caroline need to get Tripp back from Enzo before the people who want Tripp back kill Caroline's mom. Enzo secretly turns Tripp into a vampire without Caroline or Stefan knowing. Tripp crosses the Mystic Falls border and dies, while Caroline gets her mom back. Caroline sees that they hurt her mom and along with Stefan, they take Sheriff Forbes to the hospital and while waiting for her, Stefan and Caroline talk about what Enzo said earlier . They talk and Stefan apologizes for not knowing, which gets Caroline mad. Liam tells Elena that he is close to knowing how the girl who was in the maze recovered so quickly, which gets Elena alarmed since it was her blood that made the girl healed.

One week into the season, the gator hunters face yet another challenge -- a fish kill caused by the fallen leaves from Hurricane Isaac robbing the fish of precious oxygen. This led Troy and Brandon, and T-Roy and Bigfoot to find other places to hunt, trying not to step on each other. And on Pecan Island, Liz and Jessica are also enduring a fish kill, but they try to use that more to their advantage, by catching catfish that are still alive and using them as bait. And in the northern part of Louisiana near the Arkansas border, another hunting team, Jeromy and David, hunt near Marion, in the search for "The Beast of the East" -- a huge gator that had eluded many hunters in the past, leading to Jeromy and David to hunt using a muzzle-loaded rifle, along with using David's secret "monkey milk" as bait.
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.
With just a few days left in the season, the hunters rush to tag out before the clock runs out.
With two weeks to go in the season, it becomes desperation time for many hunters seeking to tag out on time. And some are more desperate than others. The Landrys win tags to hunt in a territory in the Bayou Sorrel region known to be more lucrative and have monster gators. However, in order to capitalize on their new tags, the family must focus on gators that are eight feet or large in length. Jacob and Chase are given the bulk of the new tags and have great success finding big gators. With Troy and Guy snagging smaller-sized gators, the brothers start to encroach on the territory of their fellow hunter, Junior Edwards. R.J. and Jay Paul hunt in their native area, but forced to move elsewhere when they saw gators who were simply killed and left where they were. And the relationship of David and Jeromy, still hunting in the Violet area in hopes to get gators, has become not unlike The Odd Couple, in which Jeromy wakes up early in order to exercise, while David snores all night and sleeps in until late. But once they began hunting, situations become tense when Jeromy's rifle misfires, leading to David to shoot the gator himself and threaten to toss Jeromy's rifle into the lake.
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.

This special takes another look at the celebration of Thanksgiving by the gator hunters, who, most often than not, prefer other wildlife over turkey for the main course. Troy and Chase made a bet with T-Roy and Bigfoot on who would shoot the largest wild pig, with the loser getting to cook it; while T-Roy and Bigfoot had easy luck on the open lands of Texas, Troy and Chase found it difficult hunting through the dense swampland. Liz and her family try trapping nutria for their Thanksgiving feast, but when they found all their traps empty, they used a more-reliable method -- hunting them down with their rifles. And R.J. and Jay-Paul go fishing for catfish, using a bow and arrow; however, their fishing trip becomes precariously dangerous when a thunderstorm comes near.

Four months later, Elena is having a horrible time coping with Damon's death as she returns to Whitmore College for her sophomore year. She is taking drugs that Luke has given her in order to see Damon, but she soon develops side effects that make her violent. Caroline has dropped out of college to spend her valuable time finding a way to reverse the spell that the Travellers had put on the Mystic Falls border. Tyler adjusts to being human as he begins attending Whitmore while his feelings for Liv grow. Matt gets really worried after Jeremy continues to cope with Bonnie's death by having sex with random girls and drinking. Alaric, after returning, spends time adjusting his life as a vampire. Stefan, who has started working in a garage, after giving up, is not bothered with Damon and Bonnie's loss but decides going on with a normal life. Elena asks Alaric how he copes with being a vampire and asks him to compel her into forgetting about Damon.

Damon believes if he sees Elena, all her memories of him will be restored, but Elena does not want to meet him. Alaric asks Elena to see if Jo knows about vampires, and she discovers that Jo is a witch and knows Elena and Alaric are vampires. Tripp captures Damon and try to drive him and Enzo over the Mystic Falls borders. Alaric tries to stop Tripp from crossing the Mystic Falls borders but gets dragged across it himself. While looking for Damon, Enzo, and Alaric, Elena decides she wants her memories back. When they cross the border, Enzo, Damon, and Alaric slowly start to die and get magic stripped off of them. Jo was following Alaric and rescues him, but he comes back alive as human. Stefan rescues Damon and Enzo and later on meets Caroline, who tells him she does not want to be friends anymore. The episode ends with Elena and Damon meeting in her dorm.

Hunters are forced to outthink crafty gators that are too smart to take their bait. One team seeks out some local crabbers to give them some indigenous bait. Another team uses a primitive alternative to the modern hook, while another team decides to use cannibalized gator as bait to lure in a vicious gator-eating monster.

Enzo calls Matt and threatens to kill Jeremy, who he has pinned down, unless Matt takes Sarah to a certain tunnel. Matt reluctantly goes on a walk with Sarah to the tunnel, and Enzo purposely hits Matt with a car. While Sarah panics, Enzo tells her to stay calm and gives Matt some of his blood. Meanwhile, Liz realizes that the events surrounding the Gilberts' accident were natural and that she had been hoping for a supernatural reason so she could have someone to blame. Stefan and Caroline are setting up Liz's room together and the two of them kiss on the porch. Liz's condition rapidly deteriorates and she has to go back to the hospital, where she lies unconscious. Caroline rushes to the hospital and is upset because she didn't get to say goodbye, but Stefan helps her by suggesting that she goes inside her mom's mind, which is what she does and with that the Sheriff dies.

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.

Kai tells Bonnie and Damon to prepare for the eclipse that can bring them back home. Bonnie soon discovers that Kai knew nothing about the spell and kills him. He never was dead, but he needed a Bennett to help him go back home, so he tries to kill Bonnie and Damon once they were close to coming back home. While Bonnie is bleeding on the ground, Damon fights Kai, but Bonnie uses her magic to make sure Damon goes back home. Meanwhile, Elena and Liam go to Whitmore College Corn Maze. While there, Tyler accidentally runs over the entire corn maze with a truck due to someone running out in the middle of the street, so Elena and Tyler have to make sure no one dies because then Tyler would unlock his werewolf curse. Stefan tells Caroline to teach Ivy the vampire ropes. Ivy breaks Caroline's neck and Ivy decides to go feed, but did not know how to compel. Ivy gets captured at the end by Tripp. Stefan and Damon reunite.

With four days remaining in the season, the hunters found themselves doing double the work, when they help out others to tag out, but run the risk of not doing so themselves. But one team was in position to tag out today -- David and Jeromy have two tags left, with one of them reserved for the Beast of the East, which they hope that the extra preparation for the baits would snag the monster gator for sure. Meanwhile, R.J. helps out his cousin Bradley to tag out, but becomes a problem when he find out why he was unable to tag out himself -- the bait was set improperly, keeping the gators from taking it. Jay Paul takes on his mother, Stacey, to fill in while R.J. was away -- while she was a seasoned hunter herself, Jay Paul fears that she's losing her touch with the gun. And Bruce and Ron's chances of tagging out this season becomes a little more distant when they help out another hunter fill his tags.
Two days remaining in the season, it is the final day of Justin and Glenn working as a duo for Team Liz, as they continue the pace to meet their day's goal of filling their tags for gator, an effort that Glenn's brother, Mitchell, would have approved as Glenn returns home. R.J. and Jay Paul return to where they started the season, Creole Bayou, with the goal of ending the season there. David and Jeromy use their final tag to hunt down "Metalhead", a gator that practically evaded all methods of capture. And Bruce and Ron tag out for their third, and final, time this season in what was Tyler's last hunt before retirement.

After Tropical Storm Lee passed through Louisiana, the hunters try to pick up where they left off. The storm surge has caused several levees to be breached in Myrtle Grove, leading to Joe to prepare for potential flooding, while Tommy rustles up a herd of cattle to be moved to higher ground. The gators have also moved to other areas, due to salt water intrusion, leading to R.J. and Jay Paul to find where they are located, each in their own airboat; but while this tactic increases their chances for a big gator count, only one of them has the gun; also, Jay Paul finds a fawn, whose mother perished in the storm. Liz and Kristi inspect their houseboat to make sure it survived the storm, then went back to business, hunting a large gator that they named "Mr. Lee", after the storm, but after Mr. Lee evaded all efforts to be caught, Liz baits the lines with a secret weapon -- nutria. Junior and his other assistant, Malcom, fish in an area known as "Lizard Lane", which is teeming with gators; however, their time in Lizard Lane is limited, as once the flood waters recede, they may find themselves stranded in the mud. And Glenn & Mitchell go fishing for crayfish, to replenish their food supply which they had consumed during the storm.
Today is the last day of the season, and the hunters do all they can to tag out before sundown -- any tags remaining not only mean money lost, but also pride lost. Troy and Clint, with 18 out of 470 tags remaining, and R.J. and Jay Paul, with 11 out of 500 tags remaining, fight to the finish for the "King of the Swamp" title, not only racing to tag out in time, but also to find the biggest gator they could find. Liz and Kristi, with seven tags out of 260 remaining, return to their prized honey hole, but a fish kill is causing the gators to take the fish instead of the bait, leading them to fish elsewhere, but when their spots got fished out with one tag remaining, they resort to hunting for that last gator in open water. And: Bruce and Ron, with 45 tags remaining, face longshot odds to tag out, leading them to make every minute count when hunting gators, but they will find out that giving all they got is not good enough.

Today is T-Roy and Bigfoot's final day of gator hunting in Louisiana before returning to Texas for the start of gator season there, working overtime to find the biggest gator they could find and win Troy's bet. Troy and Brandon also work all day at a sure-fire place for big gators -- his secret honey hole. Liz and Jessica resume their hunt after fixing their boat motor, but it may come to a quick end as the heavy weight of the gators endangers Liz's sutures from her gall bladder surgery, leading Jessica to take a big risk to make sure a big gator doesn't get away. And when gators weren't biting in the still-cold waters, R.J. and Jay Paul hunt for gators in the marshlands, hoping their season doesn't come to an early end.

With five days remaining in the season, the hunting teams face challenges that may keep them from tagging out. With Troy ordered from his doctor to stay home to recuperate from his injury, Jacob had his uncle, Guy, help him out in the hunt; however, the prospects of tagging out is in doubt when they found very few gators taking the bait. Liz and Kristi are back as a team, but with Kristi having missed most of the season, Liz is worried that Kristi would be unable to perform at her best, especially after being close to losing her life after falling in the water with a live gator. T-Roy and Bigfoot pay a visit with T-Roy's 70-year-old father, whom he haven't spoken to him in years; he's retiring from gator hunting, so he gave T-Roy the rest of his tags to fill. T-Roy honors his request by taking care of him first, and by fishing in his favorite honey hole, which is accessible only by crossing a 10-foot levee. And Glenn, rejuvenated after his short stint with Liz, is back in Gonzales with T.K., hunting for rabbit and gar for tonight's family get-together.
Rising water levels cause big gators to head into newly flooded areas seeking prey. One team heads into a dangerous canal only accessible by canoe in hopes of catching a bounty winning gator. Another team is forced to use an ancient swamp technique called a "Swamp Cooler" to keep their boat from running aground, while another team ventures down a hidden passageway to access one of their toughest hunting spots.
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. Molinere and his son Jay Paul are introduced to the show; they 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.
With one week to go in the gator season, it is more important than ever to catch as many gators as they can. And with the demand on gator hides on the upswing, the bigger the gator, the more money they can get. Troy and Clint go to a honey hole where, five years earlier, Troy caught 80 gators in a single day, but present conditions made entering and leaving the bayou difficult. Willy and Randy follow a huge gator that had all but eluded their capture. R.J. and Jay Paul hunt down "Gourmand", a huge rogue gator known to eat anything and everything, but not only were all efforts to catch the gator seem futile, it also consumed their entire bait supply for the day, leading to R.J. using a suitable substitute -- his chicken sandwich. And Austyn and Blake go hunting for gators for Troy's buyer, but the gator they were after has popped several of their lines. At the end of the day when they cash in, they get some pointers on gator hunting from Troy himself.
Junior and Willie hunt down a nuisance gator they call "Leo the Lion", known for its roar, but it proves that no line can snare this gator, and is reluctant to go down without a fight. Troy and Clint visit a honey hole where they haven't fished for gator in years, except that since then, a levee was built between them and the honey hole. Liz and her assistant, Kristi, are on land to respond to a call that a nuisance gator is invading a fishing camp, and, working outside the safety of their boat, they risk their lives in catching it. R.J. and Jay Paul have trouble with outsiders fishing close to their territory, but when he finds that one of them cut one of his lines to steal a gator, he declares war.
Troy finds a new honey hole, a corner of the bayou teeming with gators, but the rights to hunt it will cost him a lot of cash. Also: Joe and Tommy contend with their own greenhorn, a landlubber named Bud. Across the swamp, the Kliebard family shows they don't need the aid of computers or a factory—Mike engineers and builds a perfect aluminum boat from scratch, showing off his Cajun ingenuity and expertise.
With a week remaining in the season, Bruce and Ron hunt for gators in Bayou Piquant, an area that was inaccessible and impassable to boats, but known to be teeming with gators. This would put them into a position to tag out again this season - or so they thought. David and Jeromy are back in the Marion area, in search for huge gators in an area known as The Chute; they especially take a bigger gamble with their lives as they hunt during a thunderstorm. Troy and Brandon continue their hunt for "Big Boy" at Chicot, which became even more personal when they caught the gator, before snapping the line loose. And T-Roy and Bigfoot catch what they thought to be a record-breaking gator - until they noticed part of its tail mauled off, leading them to believe that the real record-breaker was still out there.

Five days remaining in the season, Chase takes the captains chair in his and Jacob's boat, but finds out that he was still a greenhorn when he attempts to shoot a gator with an unloaded pistol. Justin and Glenn worked to try to meet their 15 gator minimum quota for Liz, but when an incident gator left Justin's hand bloodied and his rifle twisted, a trip to the emergency room takes a backseat, as Justin decides to soldier on in the gator hunt first. Junior Edwards' wife Theresa rejoins him on the hunt, but becomes concerned when they catch nothing but small gators. And Roger and Johny get into a disagreement when Roger decides to concentrate on a large gator that was haunting him since childhood, while Johny wants to concentrate on tagging out that day, regardless of gator size.
After three weeks, the gator season enters the home stretch. And while there are still gators to be caught, the hunters have other tasks that need to be done -- tasks that they normally do outside of gator season. And in some cases, their two jobs are about to collide. Today is the first day of shrimping season, and Joe and Tommy are intent on doing double duty that day: gator hunting in the morning and shrimping in the afternoon. Then: Liz and Kristi are also on a mission to protect Kristi's livelihood -- when Kristi isn't hunting gator, she's wrangling cattle at her family's ranch. Liz and Kristi hunt a nuisance gator that was threatening her grandfather's cattle. Also: Junior's right-hand man Malcom earns most of his annual income hoop-netting for catfish; however, high water has moved a new gator population into Malcom's catfish hot spot. To rid the fishing grounds of the menace, they enlist Willy and Randy's help. Later at night, Junior would do catfishing on his own, while Willy and Randy catch frogs. And: Glenn and Mitchell's friend stopped by with an old boat motor in serious need of fixing, but when they couldn't find the part they need, they find out that a friend of theirs has it, provided that they can get by the language barrier.

When Damon and Bonnie realize that uncovering a time from Damon’s past may provide clues to finding their way back home, Damon is forced to relive one of the worst days of his life. After an awkward run-in with Jo at the hospital, Alaric steps in to help Jeremy get his life together and cope with the loss of Bonnie. Meanwhile, in Savannah, Stefan attempts to show Elena what it is like to start over and create a new identity, while unsuspecting Matt finds himself in a disturbing situation when Tripp lets him in on a dark secret. Lastly Stefan, who is desperate to regain some normalcy in his life, is stunned when Ivy shows up as a vampire.

It's halfway through the grueling alligator season and the stress is taking a toll on families throughout the swamp. Joe and Tommy are fighting... and even Troy is frustrated. Meanwhile, Howard McCrea, a hunter specialising in nuisance gators, tracks a deadly gator.

The tides are running abnormally high, and the gator hunters use it to their advantage to hunt gators in waters that were otherwise inaccessible, where the potential of catching large gators are great. Austyn and Blake hunt for gators in Dead End Bayou, an area known for large gators, with a possibility of catching their largest gator ever. Troy and Chase hunt in Duck Lake Bayou, waters where past generations of the Landry family hunted for gator; it is here that Troy hopes that Chase catches his largest gator. R.J. and Jay Paul hunt in the Houma tribe's sacred grounds that was flooded over, where only the natives are allowed to hunt. In keeping with tradition, they hunt for gator using a "smart stick" - a stick with a string on it that gets snagged in the gator's stomach after it takes the bait; R.J. and Jay Paul find that the "smart stick" lives up to its name. Joe and Tommy hunt in Voodoo Bayou, an area known to be cursed, as it is littered with submerged debris and abandoned boats; they fear that they were caught up in the superstition when their engine stalls, and later, when a gator stares them down.
As other hunters start a new, potentially-lucrative gator season, some had to face getting new partners, finding new hunting grounds, or even leaving town altogether. R.J. and Jay Paul found a potential honey hole at Creole Bayou, but it's in an area so remote, they brought a supply boat with them, and planned to camp out overnight. However, they had to jettison the supply boat when a line of sunken pylons got in the way, forcing R.J. and Jay Paul to take the risky step to go on alone. Liz takes on her daughter, Jessica, as partner once again when Liz's regular partner, Kristi, got married and pregnant. But not only is Jessica still acting like a greenhorn, they are also facing someone stealing the gators that they snagged on their lines, forcing them to go the best spot they were saving for last -- Crow's Foot -- weeks early. Jacob is also working under a new partner, Marie, when Chase was unable to leave his office job in California. Marie has a new trick up her sleeve, called the "gator bomb", which includes a secret ingredient that came with Jacob's breakfast: pancake syrup. And David and Jeromy, facing slim pickings in Marion, travel to the Atchafalaya River Basin to an area near Raceland, to connect with a buyer that has 30 tags for them to fill; however, in order to get those tags, they must first hunt a nuisance gator that is endangering a family's children in the area.

Challenges abound for gator hunters off and on the water, forcing them to find other ways to catch their gators. Junior hires another assistant, Douggie Acosta, to help him out while Theresa's hand is on the mend; however, his class clown attitude may cost Junior precious time -- and his gators. Bruce finally heads out on the hunt, running late due to the owner's delay in getting the tags; however, he goes on the hunt alone, as his assistant, Ron, is on personal business, and his trusty dog, Tyler, was forced into retirement by Bruce, fearing that this season may kill the aged dog. However, the odds continue not to be in his favor when the water levels recede lower than anticipated. Terral and Johnny go on the hunt for another nuisance gator -- a former friendly gator who had "gone rogue" with one of their neighbors. And Roger and Johny are off on their hunt, but when a gator they caught had part of a tail bitten off, they began to look for a cannibal gator they dubbed "Gravedigger", as the gator is "digging his own grave" with his murderous antics.

Bonnie has her magic back thanks to Damon's message and is planning to return home that night. Kai is dying because he merged with Luke instead of Jo. He tells Jo that unless she gives him her magic, they and the rest of the coven will die and the prison worlds will collapse. Meanwhile, Damon is struggling to write Liz a eulogy and is having flashbacks to his mother's funeral. He also tells Caroline that it will only get harder for her later after everyone expects her to move on. Before Liz's funeral, Caroline tries to ask Stefan how he feels about her, but he responds by saying that he'll talk to her about it later. The funeral takes place: Damon gives the eulogy, Caroline sings, and the police honor Liz one last time. The moving display prompts Matt to get an application to join the police for both himself and Tyler, who has been drinking heavily since his breakup with Liv. Jo decides to give Kai her magic, and as this is taking place, Bonnie's prison world shifts in and out of the Salvatore home in 1903, when the aurora borealis was taking place. Right before she is about to return home, she sees a woman who asks her who she is, but before she can learn more, she returns to the normal world. Kai feels healthy after receiving Jo's magic, but before he leaves, he tells her that she is pregnant. Alaric proposes to her, telling her that he had already been planning to propose before the news, and she accepts. After Liz's funeral, Caroline returns home, but Elena follows her and confronts her after realizing that Caroline plans to turn off her humanity to stop her pain and prevent what Damon warned her about. Caroline decides to go through with it anyway and breaks Elena's neck. Stefan realizes that what he feels for Caroline could turn into something deeper and goes to her house, but he sees Elena lying on the ground. Damon reunites with Bonnie, and when Bonnie shows him the video she accidentally took while she was escaping, Damon realizes that the woman Bonnie saw was his mother.

When questions of integrity come into play, Swampers choose to put their season on hold to do the honorable thing. One swamper reunites with another to help a family friend rid their marsh area of a rogue gator. A second team serves double duty by running their lines and searching for a gator they sniped but failed to retrieve, while a third team does battle with an indestructible monster.
With gators at an all time high in abundance and market price, everyone is taking advantage -- even gator poachers willing to risk fines and jail time. Troy and Holden find many of their lines cut by a poacher, forcing them to move to a secret honey hole. R.J. and Jay Paul's plan to hunt in Creole Bayou paid off -- however, their celebration was short lived when they found a couple of men hunting out of bounds: David and Jeromy, who was looking for another spot on their own territory after being victimised by poachers themselves. And Willie decides to hunt solo, but with huge gators on the prowl, the biggest challenge is not only the hunting of gator by himself, but also bringing the carcass onto the boat.
With five days remaining in the season, a cold front approaches the area, which could drive gators into hibernation and end the season early, forcing the hunters to step up their game to ensure that they can tag out in time. Jacob and Chase use the same tactic that their father Troy used last season to attract fleeing gators -- rotten beef melt; later, they visit a canal that has seen little boat traffic, as they determine that the gators are on their way to hide there. R.J. and Jay Paul use an airboat to hunt gators, but doing so comes with dangerous risks, as there is nothing in that part of the swamp that can shelter them from the high winds, so they later switch venues -- and switch boats. Junior and Willie are together again as a team, but when no one was taking the bait, they follow the gators to their hiding spots, in hopes that the gators are willing to bite. And Bruce and Ron's season face an early end when not only the cold front endangers their hunt, but also flooding waters from nearby Lake Pontchartrain is threatening their hunting grounds, creating brackish water that drives away the gators.
During the off-season, life goes on for the gator hunters, as they prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday in the swamp. But their idea of a Thanksgiving feast is not strictly turkey and cranberries. Troy and Jacob hunt for wild turkey, venturing into gator-infested waters to bag their catch. Glenn and Mitchell go hunting for squirrel, only to change plans when they catch a rabbit instead; they then trade their catch for a couple of snapping turtles that a neighbor caught. R.J. and Jay Paul hunt wild pigs. And Bruce hunts for gar, using mullet as bait, but when he notices that catfish was taking the bait, Bruce changes the bait, using their freshly-caught catfish as the bait; later, they stay up late to catch frogs.
A cold front is coming, one that could drive gators into early hibernation, ending the season early. It's a race against time as every gator hunter tries to beat the storm.

With three days remaining in the season, the teams scrambles to find alternative methods to catch alligators and tag out. T-Roy and Bigfoot find themselves hunting a serial killer gator named "The Reaper" that has been snatching cattle from ranches in the middle of the night. With so many remaining tags left, and in spite of suffering an abdominal hernia, Troy Landry decides to forgo doctor's orders to rest, and rally his family to complete the hunting season; with his "honey holes" almost tapped out, Troy decides to go deeper into the swamp, only accessible with ATVs. Liz and Kristi decide to try the same, and hunt on land, only to find the process time consuming. And an inspired Glenn, along with his friends, decide to finish work on a houseboat -- a project started by Glenn's late brother Mitchell, but left unfinished following his death.
