Phishing is a social engineering tactic where the attacker attempts to get a user to divulge sensitive information (like username/password, bank account number, personal information, etc.) or go to a malicious website where such information can be harvested. It uses "bait" such as telling the user that they are their bank asking for the information or posing as some other authority like the system administrator. Usually it is delivered by email or Instant Messenger.
Spearphishing is a subset of phishing. Whereas general phishing targets a wide range of people trying to get some of them to divulge general information, spearphishing targets key individuals who are expected to have very special access or information that the attacker wants. It could be a company executive or a military officer. As a variation on the pun, attacks on high level executives or military officers is sometimes referred to as "whaling".
