Well, just imagine yourself getting hit by one. The harpoons aren't small and they are actually big in width too. Whales dont have scales or anything to protect them, so it hurts. ALOT.
During the early phase of modern whaling (1860s-1920s), harpooned blue whales were able to pull 150-200 gross ton whale catches for hours until they were finally exhausted and harpooned again.
The base word of harpooned is harpoon.

A harpoon is a type of barbed spear attached to a rope, used in fishing and hunting large sea mammals (seal, walrus, whale). Harpooned is the past tense. The hunter quickly harpooned the seal. It is also slang for crushing an idea or suggestion, much as if it were popped with a real harpoon. He harpooned the idea of going to the movies, since we were all broke.
In "Moby Dick," a drugg is a type of harpoon used by the whalers to hunt and kill whales. It is a sharp weapon attached to a long rope that is thrown by a harpooner to pierce the whale's flesh and secure it for capture.

harpooned it
In Herman Melville's novel "Moby Dick," the whale dies during a final confrontation with Captain Ahab's ship, the Pequod. The whale, Moby Dick, attacks the ship and rams it, causing heavy damage. Ultimately, it is harpooned by Ahab and succumbs to its injuries, pulling Ahab down with it to a watery grave.
