Federal wildlife officials say that a whale tangled in a large fishing line that went missing during previous rescue attempts has been freed by a fisherman. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokesman Jim Milbury says that a crabbing boat's captain and crew spotted the gray whale in the ocean off Bodega Bay on Thursday. Captain Mark Anello and his crew spent 90 minutes working to free the 40-ton mammal. (AP Photo/Capt. Daveís Dolphin and Whale Safari, file)
