Why would a good spear fisher not throw the spear where they see a fish?

Because the fish is not there. When light passes from air to water, it is refracted (bent). I makes the fish APPEAR to be in a different spot, so a good spear fisherman adjusts his aim to where the fish really is.

Does the music affect the respiration rate a fish?
Although I can not say authoritatively, I can however say that fish can not "hear" as we do but instead sense vibrations with their swim bladder. Some fish, particularly fresh water Amazonian fish, sense the vibrations from thunder storms which act as a signal to spawn. Bass frequencies in music can imitate this. One would assume that their respiration rate would increase as a result of the urge to spawn.
What are spears used for?
It's probably impossible to say where the spear came from, but we know it's very old. In cave paintings that are as old as 30,000 years there are representations of humans using what appear to be spears. The spear is probably one of the oldest weapons known to humans, just beyond picking up a big rock or club. The Illinois State Museum website shows pictures of beautifully crafted spear points at least 14,000 years old. (Click the related link below, then scroll down to the image gallery. While you're there, look through the rest of the site.)The earliest humans probably had spears, at first possibly simple sharpened sticks. From there, there would have been a technological progression to fire-hardening the wooden point and eventually adding a sharp stone to increase the spear's effectiveness. The spear is both simple and sophisticated. If you were an early hunter, picking up a rock to club an animal to death would bring you into possibly too-close proximity to prey that could kick or bite. It's well known that a powerful kick from the hoof a prey animal can disable or kill a predator. As a human, you would want to extend your reach to be able to wound or kill prey without getting yourself hurt. Throwing a rock with great force might do the job, but jabbing with or throwing a sharpened stick would seem to be a better solution. Spears might have developed from "deadfalls:" digging a hole in the ground of an animal trail, sticking sharpened stakes in the bottom of it, then covering it over with a mat of sticks and leaves to camouflage it.If you visit the website cited above, you'll notice that they emphasize the "flutes" or grooves along the sides of these distinctive points. These are very important, although it's not known how they were developed. It may have been by accident. The flutes are characteristic of two types of spear points found only in the Americas, called Clovis or Folsom points from the towns in New Mexico where they were first discovered. The distinguishing characteristic of both are the flutes or grooves along the sides, which, it turns out, allowed blood to flow more easily out of a wound created by such a point and thus would cause an animal to go down faster. Some paleoanthropologists believe that the development of these "bleeder" grooves was so important and sophisticated that it possibly led to humans making extinct many animals that were known to exist in the so-called "New World" prior to humans, such as camels and horses. Interestingly, if you look at most modern combat knives, such as the Marine Ka-Bar or the standard M7 bayonet, one of the distinguishing characteristics of these knives is a "bleeder channel" or grooving on the sides of the blade. They're made much like Clovis or Folsom spear points!
Why would a good spear fisher not throw his spear when he sees a fish?
A good fisher would not throw his spear at a fish because they have a chance of 1. Losing the fish and the spear when throwing the spear, 2. Good fisherman wait until they have the best chance to hit the fish, and 3. A good fisherman would never throw their spear unless if they could not hit the fish with the spear in their hands.
Why a good spear fisher would not throw his spear where he sees a fish?
It is called refraction. When light passes from air to water, it bends. The fish is not where you see it. If you throw your spear at the IMAGE of the fish, you will miss the fish. And go hungry.

Why doesn't the fish spear that Brian makes work?
The fish spear that Brian makes does not work because it is not sharp enough to penetrate the fish's skin. Additionally, the spear lacks enough stability and weight to be effective in catching fish underwater. Brian learns from this experience and later creates a more effective spear using a sharp tip and a heavier, more balanced design.
