Guys, i've been on quite a few gator "hunts" with guys around here that go. Its more like fishing than hunting. The gator is caught on a line, much like running catfish lines. The Swamp People show is about 99% BS!!! They intentionally make the gators on the show thrash around for the cameras, its usually very quick and calm. This show is Hollywooding it up for the national audience. BTW i live in the heart of the Atchafalaya Basin where they are filming the show. Dont mean to ruin the show for ya'll but its really funny for someone thats done it before.
Lolol x2 but I live in Joe and Tommie neck of the woods and talk to them in the regular bases the pretty laid back people but it is funny how one min they in a flat boat then a lake skiff then when they catch it they back in the flat boat bad editing lol but they told me they really don't make much $$$$ with the show more like fame than anything Tommy said he picks up more women now than he ever dud man I wish I was on a tv show lolololol
