kage - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The way I read it is that you cannot use the Kage to brain the fish because the fish has not been landed (secured). Whether or not you are using it to lift the fish up or not, you are using it to assist in landing it. The rules only allow a gaff for that purpose. I agree that the spear referenced is only allowed for "persons" floating or swimming, not from vessels floating on the water. The rules, as you might expect, seem written in advantage of the fish.
