* Point of interest: Above, Mike displays some of his winter spearfishing memorabilia ... a vintage 9-tine fishing spear and wooden fish decoy.
Below, a close-up of the same spear and decoy.
The spear was handmade by the Samels brother's of Williamsburg, Michigan.
Samels brother's spears are rarely found today and are highly prized by spearfishermen and collectors. *
