A gray whale that had been tangled in a fishing net for more than three weeks as it swam up the California coast was finally disentangled Thursday by a fishing boat crew out of Bodega Bay.

The elusive whale, nicknamed June, had been on the run and out of sight for two weeks when she swam near Mark Anello and his two-person crew as they were setting crab traps off the Sonoma coast.
