Swamp People

S05E01 Once Bitten

As the gator season kicks off, swamp hunters find themselves facing some of the largest and most aggressive alligators they’ve seen in years. Veteran hunter Troy has to team up with a nervous teenager as his deckhand, realizing he needs to soothe the boy's anxiety to successfully fill his tags. Meanwhile, a former nuisance hunter is on a mission to catch a rogue gator that devoured his father-in-law's beloved hunting dog. Another experienced hunter is left scrambling for a new deckhand after his current one gets bitten, while a different swamper seeks to capture a live loggerhead turtle for a Native American ceremony to bless his gator season.
