Jobe Kukilukak, 6, catches his first Arctic char of the summer season on the shore of Coronation Gulf in Kugluktuk over the weekend. An experienced fisherman, Kukilukak became the master of the rod when he was three. His mom, Papak Miyok, is planning to make some fish chowder with the footlong catch.
