..and moreover: a fish is not a fixed target. Yes you might use a gun with a six or seven meters range, but by the time the spear gets there, the fish will be already gone, most of the times. Learn to get closer to the fish: that's the key.
If you spear in the Mediterranean, my honest advise is do not use anything bigger than a good 110/120 centimeters european style bandgun.
