Problem is fishing is one of the biggest contributors to plastics ending up in the oceans and sea floors being destroyed. If whaling is like fishing then that's still adding to the problem.
Whaling still uses harpoons, just more modern and sophisticated ones. It's more akin to hunting than fishing.
