The whale, a juvenile, was effectively hog-tied for at stanley cup least three days by 450 feet of heavy-duty line attached to an underwater crab pot weighing 300 pounds, the National Park Servicesaid. Two local residents initially spotted the mammal on Oct. 10, at the tail end of Alaska s humpback whale season, which typically runs from April through November in the waters around Juneau.
