18-foot minke whale found badly tangled in fishing rope off Cape Cod after dragging heavy gear for more than 40 miles is finally freed

A young minke whale was freed from heavy fishing gear after being entangled off Cape Cod for days. The rescue team used specialized tools to remove most of the rope but left some to avoid dangerous bleeding. First spotted by fishermen in Cape Cod Bay, the whale was found days later, thanks to an aerial surveillance team.
