Joe and Tommy come up against the notorious cannibal gator they call, Godzilla; Mike tries to pass down his vast swamp knowledge to his son T-Mike; Troy's lines are empty, putting his season in jeopardy.

A cold spell is coming that could end the season early, putting the gator hunters in a race against time to beat the storm.
