00:00 (whooshing)

00:02 - While I was fighting the shopping cart,

00:03 trying to keep it pushed against the one side,

00:05 they had Gary on the other side with his pole

00:07 in case it tried to come up.

00:09 Our little exposed right there,

00:10 so he could get it and keep it in front of us.

00:12 - You're watching for venomous snakes.

00:13 You can't really see that well.

00:15 It's pretty dark in there as well.

00:16 So you're using more of your touch

00:18 and we're working that basket through there

00:19 and there's big rocks on the bottom.

00:20 And make sure we're not passing the alligator.

00:23 So we're having to slide every bit we can.

00:25 Mitch, what we would really like

00:27 is for him to be facing away from you when you rope him.

00:29 You know what I mean?

00:30 That way you get it really good and deep on that jaw.

00:33 - Now I'm thinking I should have practiced on this noose.

00:35 - Here we go.

00:36 There he is. - There he is.

00:37 - He's looking at us.

00:38 10 yards.

00:41 Something's been happening.

00:42 Oh, (beep)

00:45 Hold up.

00:46 That was a frog.

00:47 That was a bullfrog.

00:48 - The bullfrog jumped in the water right next to me.

00:51 Scared the crap out of me.

00:53 - He's got it right here.

00:54 It's really frustrating.

00:57 As you're pushing through this muddy, murky water,

00:59 you can't see the alligator.

01:01 You don't even know if he's still there,

01:02 much less which way he's facing.

01:04 - Okay. - There he is, right there.

01:06 See his nose?

01:07 - Mitch, you be ready to back up, okay?

01:10 All right.

01:11 Just keep him off of you guys, no matter what happens.

01:14 - Oh, he's back there. - He's back there.

01:16 - Okay, Mitch.

01:18 Oh no, get him in that bucket.

01:21 Come on, Mitch, get around him.

01:22 Get around him, Mitch.

01:23 Even take his top jaw.

01:24 I don't care, take the top jaw.

01:26 The top jaw.

01:28 All the way back.

01:28 Now, look, oh!

01:30 Missed.

01:31 Normally I won't take a top jaw.

01:32 For the very reason the alligator can't shake out of that.

01:35 But when I'm in a bind, we gotta try something.

01:38 All right.

01:39 We in a bad spot here.

01:41 Sense that (beep) on that top jaw rope.

01:43 Sense it on the top jaw.

01:44 Sense it. - There you go.

01:45 - Sense it. - There you go.

01:46 - Pull him out.

01:47 Pull him out.

01:48 Pull what you got.

01:49 We gotta get out of here.

01:50 I'm coming, I'm going back around.

01:52 - We're on.

01:56 - Keep rolling.

01:56 - Oh, (beep)

02:00 - Just let him roll.

02:01 He's wearing himself out.

02:02 - I don't like that rope set at all.

02:04 All right, come out of the hole.

02:10 This is a terrible rope set, but we got him.

02:13 - I can hold him down, pin him.

02:14 - We're gonna have to tape that with that in his mouth.

02:17 And then we'll tape him later.

02:18 - Yeah.

02:19 - I need knees behind feet.

02:20 - Head to the ground.

02:21 - Head to the ground on his neck.

02:23 You got this, soldier.

02:25 - All right.

02:26 - All right, hurrah.

02:28 - Give him all you got.

02:29 - Yeah.

02:32 - All your weight on him.

02:32 - You got it.

02:34 - Now pin with everything you got.

02:37 Get your knees set.

02:39 Now we'll work this mouth out.

02:40 - Oh, he mad.

02:43 - When we pinned him, his bottom jaw went under the mud.

02:45 We could not see it.

02:46 Terribly dangerous.

02:47 I can't see what I'm doing.

02:48 - I got the bottom jaw.

02:49 Here you go.

02:50 - Now come forward more.

02:51 - There you go.

02:52 - I mean, you put them hands on him, man.

02:54 Watch them hands.

02:55 Okay, now move your hands forward a little bit.

02:58 - All right.

02:59 - You good, soldier?

03:00 - Yep.

03:01 - You got my life in your hands.

03:01 - Got it, I got it.

03:02 - Oh, he's, oh.

03:04 No, not good.

03:05 - It's all too muddy.

03:06 - It's too muddy?

03:07 Stand by.

03:08 Not good.

03:09 'Cause now what I'm gonna do,

03:12 I'm passing you the tape.

03:13 You finish him up back there.

03:15 Oh.

03:16 Good job, man.

03:18 That was a hell of a deal.
