Gerald LeBlanc & Scottie Schouest Swamp People interview

Casting directors seemed charmed by a grandfather-grandson team that traveled from Louisiana to audition.
Scottie Schouest Jr., 24, told them he'd learned all about alligator hunting at grandpa Gerald LeBlanc's knee.
"For as long as I can remember, he's had me out in a boat," Schouest said of 77-year-old LeBlanc.
For them, come September every other activity takes a back seat to alligator hunting season.
"It's definitely in our blood," he said. "We just love to do it.'
