Demand for alligator hides has soared, and buyers need more skins to fill their orders. Now, the race begins to get a piece of the action. Troy and his helper Clint have the prefect plan to find the big money gators they need. Five years ago, the duo caught a record-breaking 80 alligators in one day. Now, they'll return to the place they did it...determined to repeat past glory. R.J. and Jay Paul are after a monster of their own. Crab fishermen in the area have reported that an enormous beast is tearing apart their fishing pots to go after the bait inside. Junior Edwards' sons Willie and Randy are on a mission for big gators too. Randy spotted a beast the day before, and Willie's betting he won't be far. But, as the old saying goes...a gator doesn't get big by being stupid. Today Austyn and Blake are selling to a new buyer: the same one as Troy Landry. They know that a big catch today will fill their wallet and solidify their growing reputation.

With only 5 days left in the season, the swamp is blindsided by a cold front sweeping across Louisiana, bringing a punishing frigid rain. When temperatures drop, gators run for cover, and the hunters will have to chase them down. R.J. and Jay Paul are at a spot where R.J.'s betting gators will be on the move. But the front brings strong high winds, and their airboat isn't equipped to handle them. All season Junior Edwards has run a two-boat operation, but today he's reuniting the Edwards "A" Team. Willie is back at his father's side, and the duo is hoping their combined experience will help them track down gators. Bruce is anxious about the weather because his hunting grounds border Lake Pontchartrain. Even a few inches of rain can cause the lake to overflow, and force the gators to look for freshwater further inland. Troy's sons are hoping they can have a big day despite the cold front. They've got a secret weapon--a special bait to lure gators from hiding.
