Humpback whale untangled off Vancouver Island

A humpback whale, nicknamed Astroboy, was untangled from 140 metres of rope off Vancouver Island on Oct. 22. The rescue team managed to attach a satellite tag to the fishing gear and the drag of the tag pulled off the poly-steel rope. Astroboy is a Hawaiian whale that migrates to B.C. waters.
