Eel fisherman Ray Turner, gator hunters David LaGrange, Keith Major, and Seth Major, worm diggers Andy Johns and Jim Campbell, and ‘shroom hunters Chris Matherly and Levena Holmes are all kicking off their respective seasons with a bang.

Eel fisherman Ray Turner is in a race to get up and running, while wormers Jim and Andy are in the running for a $3k bonus. Gator hunters Keith, Seth, and David go toe-to-toe with the nastiest beast in the swamp.

Down in bayou country, Cajuns David, Keith and his son Seth are running out of luck. In Hancock, New York, Ray has discovered something's been stealing eels from his trap.

In the Louisiana swamp, gator season has reached its halfway point, and every day, gators become increasingly difficult to bag. In New York, Ray discovered that a black bear has been using his eel trap as an all-you-can-eat buffet.

After suffering a devastating blow on Hermit Island, Jim and Andy are out for revenge. A potential $500 order has fallen into the laps of mushroom hunters Chris and Levena.

When the stove that powers Ray's smoker breaks down, his entire operation comes to a crashing halt. In Louisiana, David, Keith and Seth are hot on the trail of a monster gator that's been stealing their bait and costing them thousands.
