Most anglers would consider a 40-foot fish a real trophy. But Freddy
the fin whale who spent his week aground on a Pamlico Sound sandbar
at Oregon Inlet, is one most folks would like to toss back - into
deeper waters. Freddy was lying helpless in about 3 feet of frigid
water. At least 18 inches of the whale's black back was sticking
above the sound.
