AWESOME PET PORCUPINE DISCOVERED.....ON A FISHING TRIP??

What happens here

The video begins with Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer and his friend 'Red Beaver' introducing their farm vlog. They are at a boat dock on the Roanoke River in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, and explain that they will be fishing tomorrow. They then observe a Wildlife vehicle releasing approximately 5 million baby shad fish into the river, noting the river is currently in a flood stage, about 12 feet above normal. The shad are described as being smaller than rice, resembling clear tadpoles with an eyeball and a tail. Red Beaver discusses that the fish are upstream and getting ready to spawn, with good water temperatures, but the high water level will spread them out, making them harder to find.

Goal: Observe the introduction to the vlog and the environmental activity
