00:00No way, not only are you dealing with an alligator 20 foot down, now I find out it's six foot

00:08of water as well.

00:09Yes.

00:10There's a culvert leading this way out.

00:12That's how they get in here.

00:13Yes.

00:14That's how they come in.

00:15No one is sure why this gator isn't going back out the way it came in, so we're going

00:17to need to bring him right out of the top of this well.

00:20Man, you got a lot of fish in there.

00:21That'd be a good spot if I was an alligator.

00:24You get a buffet all day long.

00:26Okay.

00:27Let me rig up some rods.

00:29Do you have any idea?

00:30Is your brain coming together on how this is supposed to work?

00:32You're fishing for an alligator.

00:35We are, but...

00:37You want to move his face in a better position for you to get a rope around him.

00:40Right.

00:41All right.

00:42Let me see what we got.

00:45All right.

00:47Let's try a rope without having to hook him.

00:51Ah.

00:52It went down.

00:55We walk up here and he has his head up.

00:57Now we're here and he goes under.

00:58I'm supposed to have to hook him.

00:59That's just the way it is.

01:00It is deep down there.

01:01I don't know where he went.

01:02I just can't imagine he's moving that much.

01:03Trying to give her a good home, man.

01:04Let's get you out of this mess.

01:05Oh, wait, wait, wait.

01:06There he is.

01:07There he is.

01:08I need a better hook set than that.

01:09All right.

01:10Look.

01:11There he is.

01:12There he is.

01:13There he is.

01:14There he is.

01:15Give her a good home, man.

01:17Let's get you out of this mess.

01:20Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, there he is, there he is.

01:25I need a better hook set than that.

01:27All right, look.

01:28Let me see where our line is on him.

01:31Just hold him tight, hold him tight.

01:35Oh no, he's got you twisted around his pipe.

01:38Just try to hold what you got.

01:40Oh my gosh.

01:43Hold on, just hold on to him.

01:45Oh, he's got you going everywhere.

01:47Look, across both pipes.

01:49That's not good.

01:51Nope.

01:52He came off?

01:53Yep.

01:53Golly.

01:54Watch your face.

01:55There were two poles under there.

01:56As soon as I would hook the alligator,

01:58he was doing a figure eight around the poles.

02:00Every time we do that.

02:02Around the pole again, every single time.

02:04And every time was breaking off.

02:13It's 103 degrees.

02:14The concrete's really hot.

02:15It was frustrating.

02:16I got mad.

02:20I mean, there's just no other way.

02:21I mean, we're just gonna have to keep doing this.

02:23We'll be here this time next year, I guess.

02:32Look at these hooks, they keep doing it.

02:33I don't know if you got them tied wrong or what.

02:35No, I don't have them tied wrong.

02:36But they keep hooking one upside down.

02:37They're not tied wrong.

02:39God dang, baby, you have a jumbled mess.

02:42I don't know how you got these tied,

02:43but I'm telling you now, every time I drop it down,

02:47look what happens.

02:49Well, untie it yourself.

02:50I don't know what to say.

02:51I'm going to.

02:52You may.

02:52You're gonna catch it by yourself, too.

02:54They call it a manhole for a reason.

02:56And that's because my man almost went in that hole.

02:59It's a good thing I like him.

03:00I could just go.

03:01Whoop.

03:02Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, there he is, there he is.

03:05There he is.

03:06There he is.

03:07Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, there he is, there he is.

03:13Hey, come here, come here, drop it.

03:14Hold that for me.

03:15Just hold it right there.

03:16I got his head up just right there.

03:21Hold on, hold on.

03:22Okay, man, go up a little bit.

03:23If you can, easy, easy, easy.

03:25He's gonna back out of this rope.

03:27I was able to finagle just enough

03:29for the rope to go over his top jaw.

03:30Then he went under.

03:32Oh, he backed out of it.

03:33And as he got around, I just tried it.

03:36I just pulled it up.

03:38Ah, I got him, I got him.

03:39I got him by the back tail.

03:41Hold up.

03:43Good job, man.

03:44Cut that line.

03:45Good job, everybody.

03:46All right.

03:47Remember something.

03:48I got him by his back legs.

03:50So he's gonna come out with a full mouth ready to go.

03:53I'm gonna guide him up.

03:55Ready?

03:55Come on.

03:56Come on.

03:57Ooh, come on.

03:59Come on, come on.

04:00Pull, come on.

04:00Come on.

04:01Pull, come on.

04:03Back off, back off.
