When I use to scuba dive at night the bass were always found sleeping. Our underwater lights would wake them up and then they would swim away. We found them tucked into the submerged weed line. The weed grew down to a depth of about 12 ft. and then stopped growing as the bottom dropped off. This was in the pits up in Linton, IN. The water was warm in the summer months and very clear in the pit we dove in that night. Most all the bass we saw were right along the edge of the weed line and when startled by our lights would swim off into the deeper water blackness. Our underwater light was the only thing that we could see. But I guess not all LM bass are sleeping at the same time if you were catching them in the darkness. Maybe you were catching the 3rd shift LM bass and the 1st shift bass that I saw were sleeping after working hard all day long.
