00:00Hot paw of the day, the odds of him coming out right now are not very good.

00:04This may have to be an early morning, late evening catch.

00:07We came out here to look for the alligator.

00:09We didn't see it, but I'm going to do everything in my power, and I'm going to splash and splash

00:13and throw rocks.

00:15Just like always, Shannon doesn't give up.

00:16She's constantly working.

00:17She's constantly giving every effort she can.

00:20It's called gator bait.

00:21Splash like this.

00:23Pretend you're the bait.

00:24There he comes.

00:25What?

00:26Where?

00:27Babe, that might be him come across.

00:28No.

00:29Yeah.

00:30Yeah, it is.

00:31That's him.

00:32They've got sensory pits all over their jaws, and so as these vibrations go across the water,

00:36it's got his attention.

00:37From the other side of that pond, here he comes.

00:52What I'm going to do is get this thing set up right here.

00:57What's taking you so long?

00:58Hush.

00:59Hush.

01:00Hush.

01:01I'm working fast, baby.

01:02Just keep his attention.

01:03When you're casting, you're bringing those hooks over the alligator.

01:06You don't want to hit the scale.

01:07You're not going to penetrate that.

01:09You want to penetrate the membranes that are around each scale.

01:11I'm going to try to go over his right side, the back of his neck.

01:19You got him.

01:20Hold on.

01:21This hole, baby, he ain't even fought.

01:22He ain't fought yet.

01:23He don't even have his hook yet.

01:24There he goes.

01:25There he goes.

01:26There he goes.

01:27Damn it.

01:28S**t.

01:29Game on.

01:30He's up.

01:31I probably got hooks all in a mess.

01:32Give me a minute.

01:33The reason you want to use these small treble hooks is because it's going to puncture that

01:34membrane.

01:35Now, I do understand there's several levels of skin underneath that membrane, but you

01:36don't want to use too big a treble hook where it can penetrate an organ.

01:37That's why we use those real small ones.

01:38And it's not always successful because of that, but I would rather the alligator get

01:39away from me than kill me.

01:40I don't want to kill you.

01:41I don't want to kill you.

01:42I don't want to kill you.

01:43I don't want to kill you.

01:44I don't want to kill you.

01:45I don't want to kill you.

01:46I don't want to kill you.

01:48I'm liking that one.

01:51He turned.

01:53He's getting farther and farther and farther away.

02:13There's some reason it won't go anymore.

02:17Is he fighting you back?

02:19The hook's going to break or we're going to catch him.

02:21Right here.

02:22He's running at you.

02:23Watch out.

02:24Cross your head.

02:25Watch, watch, watch.

02:26I see him.

02:27I don't know where he is.

02:28He's right here, he's right in front of me.

02:29Be careful.

02:30He's right here.

02:31I'm trying to get his head up.

02:32You know he can see you there.

02:33I know.

02:34Easy.

02:35That was close.

02:36Get tied for me.

02:37Easy, easy.

02:38Man, if we get this one, it's by the skin of our teeth.

02:49He's rolling, baby.

02:50Let's shut him down.

02:51Where's the head?

02:52I don't know where he's at.

02:53Get him.

02:54Got him, girl.

02:55Zip.

02:56Let's go.

02:57He's got him.

02:58Get out of there with him.

03:01My favorite part of every alligator catch is when that rope goes around the neck and

03:06you hear that rope go zip.

03:08That was a pretty good move.

03:09She might get the word gator charmer.

03:10That alligator came a long way to see her.

03:12Of course, I would too.
