VANCOUVER — Fisheries and Oceans Canada says it has successfully untangled fishing gear on a humpback whale off British Columbia's coast that was first spotted by a ferry passenger.
Cottrell says the whale named Smoke was trailing more than 50 metres of line and gear, while still travelling quickly despite the entanglement, and it took them several hours to locate and free the animal. Cottrell says the whale was agitated and uncomfortable during the operation, and was still very"mobile" before tiring out as it moved northward in the Strait of Georgia by the evening.
