The most recent episode of Swamp People was a good one because they showed Junior and they haven’t done that in a while. We always like to see Junior and Willie, although Willie has been hunting with his brother Randy lately so that they can catch more gators.
Junior was hunting with Malcolm and he was headed for a part of the swamp that was blocked off by a metal dyke. They drove up to the dyke dragging a pirogue and pushed the pirogue over the wall so that they could hunt on the other side of the dyke. A pirogue is a small boat that has no motor, so somebody has to paddle the boat. Malcolm paddled, and it was funny to see Junior just sitting in the back of the boat giving orders. Since a pirogue isn’t very big, they didn’t want to put an alligator in the boat because it would probably sink it. So, after they had shot a gator, they attached a life jacket onto the gator and floated it to the metal dyke and loaded him onto the big boat. I think Malcolm was probably pretty tired because they caught at least 7 alligators, so Malcolm had to go back and forth quite a lot. Junior sure is Captain of his boats; everyone obeys him and I think we would too if we were there with him.
Bruce was on the show again, which was good. They don’t show him very much and so we always like it when he’s on. Bruce is one of our favorite swampers because he is really nice. Jacob’s grandpa Duffy was also on this episode and he was helping Jacob and Chase hunt gators. It is kind of amazing because Duffy is seventy years old and he’s still hunting gators. He’s a really good shot, too. We never saw him miss in the whole episode. He kept calling Chase “crapaud” so we looked up the meaning. We found a few that said crapaud is a species of large frog and we were pretty sure that’s not what he meant. We later found out that it is also slang for a French person.
History Channel needs to make Swamp People a year-round show, every week a new show. It’s the only way to see everyone enough to satisfy us!
