This photo released by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources shows Right whale #4057 circles to the right as responders from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission throw a custom-made "cutting grapple," hoping to sever the long strand of fishing rope exiting the whale's mouth. Seconds later the heavy rope parted and the whale swam away unencumbered. The orange buoy floating in the background was attached to the fishing rope to slow the whale down, making it easier for responders to approach by boat.
