Cool idea for the lake, but I think I would rather "sneak" around our coastal waters after dark.
Take some, but save some for later.

I wonder if the landloard hunts after dark?
Aside from that, it would be cool for lobstering down south.

Not sure if the landlord is a night feeder.  I would not paddle a glowworm. The lobstering down south sounds like fun though....

I wonder if you look like a giant glowing squid to the sharks.

Looks cool but just stick an LED lantern inside then you have a choice. Might scare some fish off.

What's the point of glowing in the dark. I don't do any night fishing but if I did I would just throw a flash light in the hull and that should do the same thing i guess.

I really think this is cool, but after thinking about it, Would having that thing glowing impair your night vision? I know when I have used a headlight and lit up my deck to cut bait and rig traps, it usually takes a while to get my vision back ... Just curious?

 In regards to this "Illuminati,"  A few years ago when I worked on an ambulance, I bought a sweater from one of our vendors.  It had a 3M material called Illum-a-somehting or other, I have forgotten its name but.  It looked like a black sweater, until you hit it with light, then BAMM it lit up big time.  Spooky bright white.  I wonder if this works similar?  I mean plastic won't glow all night unles it keeps absorbing light right?

I don't think the glow is bright enough to mess with night vision.
If your headlight has a red setting (or dimmer), use that - your eyes won't take as long to recover after turning it off.
