The whale is believed to have been dead before it was caught
A Campbeltown fishing boat made a surprise catch on Tuesday, May 20 - substantially larger than its usual target of prawns.

The crew of The Crest discovered a 26ft-long,three-ton minke whale snared in their equipment at Kilbrannon Sound off Peninver. They believe it was already dead when caught.
