Swamp People - Season 17

At the dawn of a new season, flash-flood chaos from hundreds of miles north sends the bayou into a tailspin.

As historic floodwaters from the north swallow the bayou, Troy and Pickle struggle with drowned lines, until a lesson from a late swamp legend gives them a fighting chance.

The swamp's in chaos as days of northern flooding give way to a sudden, dramatic water drop, pushing territorial bulls into new battlegrounds and leaving hunters scraping bottom at every turn.

Troy rallies the Landry fleet with a bold 17-gator quota per boat, pushing every team to the breaking point as dropping water levels raise the stakes. Ronnie and Timmy make a risky call, abandoning the marsh for the deep swamp in search of bigger catches.

As a drastic drop in water levels scrambles the swamp, Mr. Daniel challenges Zak to haul in an unheard-of 100 feet of gator. Bruce and Anna flee crushing boat traffic and wind up deep in a remote slough.

As historic high water floods the swamps, Troy puts Pickle to the test, sending her on a grueling solo mission after an all-night hog hunt.

On the hottest day of gator season, a brutal heat wave pushes Louisiana's hunters- and their gear – to the brink.

Jacob and Little Willie hunt a legendary cannibal gator known as Bone Crusher. Bruce and Anna hide their lines to stay one step ahead of poachers, forcing Bruce to rely on his uncanny swamp memory to find them again.

With gators wising up to the hunter's tricks, swampers must get creative to fill tags. Joey and Kallie chase down the legendary "Poseidon" through deep water and shattered lines. Troy and Pickle gamble on an old-timer's hot tip in a remote bayou.

As gator season races to the finish line, it's time for hunters to put up or shut up. Leron and Porkchop follow a trail of bent hooks and broken branches to hunt down the infamous monster gator, known as Freddy Krueger.

As swamp waters drop and gators grow bolder, danger and competition surge across Louisiana. Troy brings in a secret weapon—his own mother—to push Pickle harder than ever. Bruce and Anna go after a giant gator that got away.

With water levels at record highs, Troy and Pickle gamble on a rarely accessible honey hole to make a dent in their tag count. Chasing a tip from an old-timer, Ronnie and Timmy hunt for a record-breaking gator named Sasquatch.

With only two days left in the season, Troy and Pickle chase a legendary line-popping gator nicknamed "Lucky." Jacob and Little Willie face off in a high-stakes rifle-versus-treble-hook showdown.

On the final day of gator season, with record-low water turning the swamp into one of the toughest battlegrounds in memory, every team races against the clock to tag out before sunset.
