Alligator Hunting Strategies in Hot Weather

Troy Landry and Pickle Wheat employ a unique strategy to combat the heat affecting alligators. They set test lines in various spots to find cooler waters, as the heat causes algae growth and affects alligator behavior. The team observes that alligators in warmer waters are covered in slime, indicating the need to find cooler areas. Their strategy proves successful as they catch slime-free alligators in deeper, cooler waters, validating their approach.
