Weigh the number of potential spear guys vs rod and reel guys... it is a really small impact here guys....
True enough, good point.

I would only add that eventually the rod and reel guys' fish gets back in the water and most likely lives. Where as, once a spear is through the fish it is dead. Short or not.
