Despite his worst start ever, The King of the Swamp is determined to fill his 500- plus tags this year. Armed with the help of fellow swamper Daniel Edgar's family, he takes on the high water and cold weather in true Cajun fashion. Meanwhile, Frenchy Crochet and Gee Singleton's best laid plans literally blow up in their face. Will it end their season before it gets started? And in Houma, R.J. and Jay Paul continue their fast start to the season and reveal a family secret.

Willie Edwards is back and this year he's striking out on his own. Armed with his trademark treble hook, this solo hunter is blind-sided by the biggest monster he's ever taken on--and it's war. Down south, Daniel Edgar is facing his own battle as he attempts to take down a foe that has haunted him for years. In Houma, an injury may put an end to R.J.'s season. And the Salt and Pepper team of Frenchy and Gee dig deep into their faith as Frenchy sets out after a beast that has been torturing him in his dreams.
