Continuity:
When Mark Williams shoots the Gill-Man in the water with the harpoon, the creature is clearly facing Mark when shot, and the spear is lodged between the creature's ribcage and the abdomen. The Gill-Man is holding the spear in place in the establishing shot.

From that angle, the Gill-Man can't hold the spear in the same manner.
