Blood Is Thicker Than Water

What an episode last night of Swamp People! I hope you all got to see it and if you didn't, skip on over to History.com and watch the full episode real quick, you'll be glad you did.
The Guist brothers found their meal right off their back porch and made squirrel and dumplings which was their fathers recipe. Sounds delicious doesn't it? Okay, okay... Maybe it isn't for everyone (especially me), but the Guist brothers seem to love it. I still kind felt bad for the one squirrel they shot out of a tree who was eating starting to eat a nut when he met his maker.

We also got to see and alligator rip a gun right from Joe's temporary helper Tim. When will these gators learn... Don't bite the hand that feeds you, or in their case, don't bite the gun that kills you. Poor Tim had to take one for the team and get in the murky waters of the swamp to retrieves Joe's fathers gun.

Troy started out thinking it may be a bad day with water lilies over running his sweet spot but it proved to be untrue and his day turned around quickly and he ended the day with a boat full of gators and if you saw most of the gators he had weren't babies one topped out at 12 foot 7 inches. What a gator! It must have been that lucky blue shirt he is always wearing. Keep up the momentum for this season Troy!

Tommy learned being the captain of his own boat and being left to catch alligators alone was no easy task. After the motor in his boat over heated he admitted defeat to Joe and Joe gladly accepted him back in the boat with him. I hope Tommy can become fully dedicated to the task, in return he will become a better alligator hunter if he does.

All in all it was a very eventful episode. I know it's ending soon but you know they will be filming for next season here shortly. The September alligator season is closely approaching!

  2. All idiots? Troy is a successful business owner. He has a seafood processing and wholesale business, and he's doing well financially. He's also bilingual. He speaks English and Cajun French. Mike, from season one, has a metal fabrication shop, and is a custom boat builder. He doesn't even need blueprints. He figures the patterns in his MIND, and can get a boat built in as little as a week. These guys are doing something that's NECESSARY here in Louisiana. They have families and they WORK for a living. You're an ignorant JERK for making such a stupid, hateful statement.
