Toby nailed it...this is a whole lot harder than it might appear, and there are far fewer guys doing it than yuo might guess. I used to spearfish a lot. If done correctly, as intended, there is zero wasted bycatch. I will admit that a couple of times I shot fish that I swore were keepers but turned out not to be. I kept them for the grill.
This won't put any measurable dent in the population. It has nowhere near the impact of rod and reel fishing.
