I have come to spearing from fishing and if getting a fish in the bag was the sole aim I certainly wouldn't use my rods! I get far far more bass spearing.
I agree that its not about just getting the fish, I love the whole stalking aspect of it, but if a laser would help acheive a successful conclusion to that then I'm all for that. After all its not, to rip off a previous statement, a fire and forget system, you'd still need to take into account the holdover/under required for the range and the fishes movement and many other factors. The laser may even spook the fish! I'm not arguing that lasers themselves would even work, but what I do believe is that you shouldn't discount these things just because they're new and not what people are used to. If you don't want to use them then don't, but that's no reason to say that other people shouldn't.
And if its about the hunt not the kill then you could just take a camera....
