Fisherman frees humpback whale

A humpback whale tangled in a fishing line off the Perth coast has been freed.
The nine meter humpback had been struggling for hours caught in the fishing line off the shore near Two Rocks on the Western Australian coast.
A fisherman had spotted the whale, and stayed with it until Sea Rescue and the Department of Environment and Conservation came to help.
Whale experts say the gentle giant was distressed after being stuck for almost a day.
