00:00Hey, right there, you see him right there?

00:04Right in the middle.

00:05Damn, that's a big alligator, too.

00:06Oh, what do you think he is?

00:07He's eight and a half, nine foot, there he went under, yep.

00:08Rods, get rods, ropes, hooks.

00:09Let's do it.

00:10Come on, on the jog.

00:11I know how long that ditch runs, and I know there's a lot of water that comes through

00:19there.

00:20What I didn't know was it had a big pool under the bridge.

00:23I didn't expect that much water.

00:26Here's how he got in here, right there.

00:28Here, we got yours right here, but it's not rigged up.

00:33I need a weight and some hooks.

00:37When the hook goes into the membrane, besides the scale, we use these small hooks.

00:42And I know we're not going to penetrate anything like an organ, it just can't go that deep.

00:47I just need to be able to get in that membrane so we can get him to the surface and get him

00:51roped.

00:52There's a problem with these lines and this concrete.

00:57What's going to happen is, whenever you set it, he's going to take off running through

01:02these, and this is going to get cut on that concrete a hundred times.

01:06It's going to happen.

01:07Well, I've been fishing my whole life, Sod, and I've been catching alligators for a while,

01:12so I've been pretty friendly with a fishing reel for sure.

01:15Oh, hey, that mud ain't fun.

01:18I'm going to get right here.

01:20Looks like there's a little drop off right after the mud, just so you know.

01:23Oh, hey, there he is.

01:24Look, look.

01:25Right beside where you threw.

01:26He's up.

01:27Come on, Eddie.

01:28Stick him.

01:29He didn't go away.

01:30He just went right down.

01:31Oh.

01:32You got your hook.

01:33Set the hook.

01:34Eddie, I need another hook in him, Eddie.

01:35Got him.

01:36All right.

01:37Just hold on to it.

01:38Hey, he's going for that post.

01:39Stand by.

01:40I cannot believe y'all did this so fast.

01:41Here's the problem.

01:42See your line?

01:43It's on the head.

01:44Yes, sir.

01:45I'm not going to be able to get this rope around the head.

01:46It ain't on the head no more.

01:47You lost him?

01:48I'm still on him.

01:49Get back on him.

01:50Aiden, come over here and get him.

01:51All I want to do is sit down.

01:52Yes, sir.

01:53Don't make him run.

01:54Any time you've got an alligator of any size, five, six foot, you want to get two lines.

01:55That's your security.

01:56Those big alligators, they're breaking one off.

01:57You better get two on them.

01:58Oh, there goes that shoe.

01:59Come on, Aiden.

02:00Need a little help here.

02:01Come on.

02:02Come on.

02:03Come on.

02:04Come on.

02:05Come on.

02:06Come on.

02:07Come on.

02:08Come on.

02:09Come on.

02:10Come on.

02:11Come on.

02:15Come on, Aiden.

02:16Come on, Aiden.

02:17You got this, man.

02:18Good.

02:19Good.

02:20Right there.

02:21Should be hitting him right about now.

02:22There you go.

02:23Got him.

02:24He's on him.

02:25All right, let me see what you got.

02:26Hold tight.

02:27All right.

02:28Hey, don't move.

02:29Don't move.

02:30I bet I don't get a chance at this.

02:31God dang it.

02:32Hey, straight up.

02:33I need his head.

02:34Go straight up.

02:35There's just a big silt of mud here.

02:36You can't even see your hand underwater.

02:37I can see it.

02:38You can see it?

02:39I can see it.

02:40I can see it.

02:41I can see it.

02:42I can see it.

02:43I can see it.

02:44I can see it.

02:45You can see the silhouette?

02:46I can see his silhouette.

02:47It's right there.

02:48Can you give me two more inches?

02:49I can get you.

02:50There you go.

02:51Hold on, man.

02:52Hold on.

02:53Hold on.

02:54Hold on.

02:55Hold on.

02:56Oh, hell no.

02:57I got a freaking stick.

02:58That's a bad alligator.

02:59Stay, y'all.

03:00Stay.

03:01Ah!

03:02I still got him.

03:03I still got him.

03:04He's all wrapped up in that line, though.

03:05Stand by.

03:06I could rope the head, or I could take the head.

03:07I could take the head.

03:08I can take the head.

03:09I can take the head.

03:10I can take the head.

03:11I can take the head.

03:12I can take the head.

03:13Or I could take the tail, but I got to get it.

03:16If I want to take the tail, I got to get it way up, which means I got to watch the alligator

03:19coming around me.

03:22I got a tail catch.

03:23It's this.

03:24Go.

03:25Get on the rope.

03:26I can't walk in this with all this mud on my feet.

03:29I'm going to cut the fishing lines.

03:30Hold the rope.

03:31I got it.

03:32I got it.

03:33Yeah.

03:34It's slick.

03:35It ain't clawing.

03:36I need another rope.

03:37You got another rope, Eddie?

03:38Yes, sir.

03:39It's right up here.

03:40You got this, Aiden?

03:41Where?

03:42Where's the other rope?

03:43Yes, sir.

03:44Hopefully I don't fall going up this thing.

03:48You shouldn't have to be a cowboy.

03:49Throw that cement on his head.

03:51Good thing I've been practicing my rope.

03:52Come on, man.

03:54It's rolling.

04:00Rope him.

04:05All right, set it.
