Yes I know that I was mostly teasing about the being afraid of night fishing.
I understand your viewpoint about day vs. night fishing... I like any kind of fishing, but like you mentioned - if the sole goal of yours is to catch a big one, night time is superior for some species.
I would argue though that catching a really big fish at night, and not being able to see exactly where it is, where it is going, how big it is... etc. really makes for a different experience... It is a lot more about feeling than seeing. I like it... everything is so quiet at night nothing breaks that stillness like a big fish slamming your lure...
And as you mentioned: If you are someone who wants to avoid the crowds, or avoid people entirely as is the case the vast majority of the time, try night fishing. You'll have the place entirely to yourself..
