Happy for the outcome: those fish are very good looking, and you had the best way to inaugurate a new speargun.
The loading issue: I think it's just a matter of getting used to the open muzzle. If you focus on how to get the line properly looped, and do some practice, then it will come more natural the next times.
Me I've been spearfishing with all closed muzzle guns for more than 17 years, then I converted to open muzzles last year, and now I'm an open muzzle enthusiast, being the advantages the two following: the aiming visual pattern is cleaner, and the shaft is secured on the straight position. So definitely better than closed muzzle.
