[Warning: The below contains spoilers for Swamp People.]
The dramatic drop in water levels on the bayou has created more challenges on Swamp People. During the January 21 episode of the History Channel series, our favorite gator hunters had to face them head on with a job to do and tags to fill. For Troy Landry, it was also about beating his son Jacob in a competition for who brings back the biggest catch at the end of the day. If Troy lost, he’d have to work as a cashier at the Duffy’s family store. Jacob would need to wash his dad’s truck if he didn’t win.
