I love paddling out before dawn in the dark, but I always know its going to be light soon. After sunset I always get the heebeegeebees and run for the beach worried about a set coming in while I'm landing.
Pretty balsy to stay after dark, solo, in the black water, and to fight a fish you can't recognize till its in the light of the flashlight.
Congratulations. That's a great accomplishment.
I'll be out tomorrow at around 8 AM, in the full light of day with my Starbucks in hand and will almost certainly not get one, but you never know! It'll still be a good few hours, even without a fish.
