June 11, 2020, my wife Akittiq Angutiqjuaq caught a very delicious fat nattiaviniq at 7:27 a.m.
We were at breathing holes for a good 45 minutes before I found a hidden breathing hole.
A couple minutes later, we were lucky my wife caught it because the rest were starting to give up from their seal holes and heading back to their qamuti.
