Rescuers freed an entangled gray whale off the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Redondo Beach on Thursday afternoon.
The whale, which was "making slow circles and really struggling," was cut free at about 1:30 p.m., said Brad Sawyer, the captain of the whale-watching boat Voyager out of King Harbor.
"When freed, it took off at high speed, swimming fast!" wrote an administrator of the American Cetacean Society - Los Angeles Chapter page on Facebook. "Its entanglement wound (was) not severe."
The administrator noted that the whale has "an outstanding chance of surviving."
"We feel pretty confident that the rest of the netting will fall off," said Kelli Lewis of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach.
Sawyer said they nicknamed the whale "Bob," after Sawyer's brother who died two days ago.
"We have decided to call this whale Bob as a way to honor my brother," Sawyer said.

Most were opened, often not incredibly efficiently, with knives or by banging them towards rocks or perhaps by heating them until finally the contents exploded. The bombings crack my coronary heart. The Lyme bacteria are comparable to the syphilis pathogen, and both of those health conditions have stages and dormant periods.
