Up in the Northern Territory, there seem to be crocodiles everywhere Matt Wright turns – in the cattle’s watering holes, on the flooded fence lines, even at a nearby tourist spot. He’s got his work cut out for him.

Matt and the boys have been asked to control the crocodile population in a water system alongside a large cattle station. They need to remove one large crocodile and a handful of smaller crocs to reduce the damage they are causing to the cattle. But the monsoon is on the horizon and they'll have to finish a week's worth of work in only 48 hours.

The giant crocodile Matt has been hunting for has smashed up his traps again. This is a powerful animal and a master of camouflage. Matt and the boys head into the swamp to flush him out - but this massive crocodile will push Matt to his croc catching limits.

It's the boys' final chance to reach their target of 30 crocodiles in one week up at the Northern Territory's Mary River. Overnight, the boys caught a massive crocodile that could be the biggest catch of the week. He was too big to fit in the boat, so they've waited until daybreak to pull him onto land. This time, they've brought along a vet to anaesthetise the bigger crocs so they can be safely transported. Will the boys reach their 30 croc target before the week is done?
