Since we are not target practicing, and not using fire arms, the rule is usually the bigger the fish the harder the hunt. You may need good shooting skills to spear a 1/2kg Jack zipping around you, but once you spear it its over. Now imagine its bigger cosine weighing 30-50 kg. Spearing it might be a little easier but that’s when the hunt starts. On the other hand, let’s not forget that spearing small fish is not a good practice in general. Some countries that allow spearfishing, control the size of the catch for many obvious reasons.
As for the morays, I am not in the habit of spearing them, but take my word for it, they are not an easy shot.
