Mitchell Guist has passed away
We all know the two crazy brothers well just by that description, the ones who were inseparable and who did some quite odd things on the swamp and off their porch. :) Sadly one of the Guist brothers passed away last month. If you hadn't heard why, just keep reading. Thats the point of this particular post.
Mitchell Guist:
Death was determined to be of natural causes.
On the History cable hit "Swamp People," Cajun hunter Mitchell Guist was often inseparable from his brother Glenn. But when Mitchell died Monday, the two were apart.
The 47-year-old Guist was in a boat being towed by a barge on the Intracoastal Waterway in Louisiana, roughly 70 miles west of New Orleans, when he collapsed, Mike Waguespack, the sheriff of Assumption Parish, said in an interview Tuesday. A coworker in a neighboring boat saw what had happened and guided Guist's vessel back to the dock about 100 yards away, where he called 911.
"He fell backwards as if he had had a heart attack, stroke or some sort of seizure," Waguespack said of Mitchell Guist's sudden collapse. Guist developed a fan base with his backwoods savvy on History's "Swamp People," about alligator hunters in the Cajun wetlands.
Words from the producer:
"Right now, we're thinking about him almost every minute," said Brian Catalina, executive producer of "Swamp People." "We've lost a really important part of our family and a treasured friend."
"Swamp People" is the popular History Channel TV series that chronicles the lives of alligator hunters.
Now in its third season, the series is set in Louisiana's Atchafalaya Swamp, and focuses on Cajun alligator hunters during the 30-day hunting season that the History Channel notes is "crucial to their survival."
Guist appeared on the show alongside his brother, Glenn Guist.
"The two were inseparable. These guys were born in the same house that they both still lived in, up until yesterday. They were two peas in a pod for sure. Neither had ever married. They were just as brothers as you could be," said Catalina.
Mitchell Guist will be missed on the show by all of his avid fans, will be missed by his wife and by his obvious best friend and brother.
RIP Mitchell!

Thoughts on the season so far
If you have been keeping up with the swampers so far this season then you have decided how you like it. Please share with all of us here on the Swamp People blog your thoughts. Whats been your favorite capture so far, who is your favorite swamper this season and why? And any other juicy little did bits you'd like to disclose. We would love to here everyone's opinion, good or bad. Personally I have loved the show since season one and have come to love each of these swampers. They are all amazing and capturing alligators is certainly no easy task. Happy Hunting!

Can the Women Survive?
Last week we saw Liz take on the swamps with her female co-pilot Christy... Even though they looked like they would struggle with their 1,000 pound beast caught on Liz's late fathers line, it sure didn't stop them from ultimately succeeding and dragging in a powerful catch any man or woman would be proud of. Although it was a close call the length of the beast beat out the swamp king Troy Landry's catch of a 13 footer... They may be ladies, but definitely not the weaker sex. Best of luck to you Liz as you hunts continue!

Gator Gold Rush
Premiere Date: 02/09/2012
It's day one of the thirty-day alligator-hunting season in Louisiana. This year prices are 30% higher, and with big bucks on the line, a Gator Gold rush is about to begin. Troy Landry has a plan to cash in; reuniting with 20-year partner Clint and running a second boat with son Jacob at the helm. With 430 tags, more than ever before, he's determined to retain his crown. Down in Pecan Island, Troy's helper from last year, Liz Cavalier, is running her own boat this season with 260 tags of her own. Joining her is helper Kristi Broussard, a born and bred Cajun woman who's eager to show what she's got. In Houma, two-time world arm wrestling champion R.J. Molinere and his son R.J. are back. This season he's taken on 500 tags, more than anyone else, with one goal in mind...to prove that he's the king of the swamp. Swamp legend Bruce Mitchell is gearing up with plans of his own. He's got a new secret weapon, former military sharpshooter Ron Methvin.
