The episode opens with a storm brewing in the swamp, as hunters Troy and Chase Landry, along with their airboat captain, Bigfoot, brace themselves for the oncoming rains. Meanwhile, fellow hunters Liz Cavalier and Kristi Broussard set out to check their lines as Liz reflects on the importance of the swamp to her family and the unwritten rules of the hunt.
As the weather worsens, Troy and Chase come across a massive gator, but the slippery conditions make it a near-impossible catch. Despite their skill and experience, the hunters find themselves struggling against the elements and resign themselves to returning another day.
Elsewhere, veteran hunter Junior Edwards sets out to catch a particularly elusive alligator known as "Big Bull," whose size and temperament have earned it a fearsome reputation.

In the end, Swamp People season 4 episode 10 provides a thrilling and suspenseful look at the hard work and sacrifice that go into alligator hunting, and the unbreakable bond between the Cajun people and their beloved bayou.
