Can largemouth see at night? Is night fishing actually worth it?

Yes — the largemouth retina is rich in rod cells, the low-light receptors, so after dark it sees silhouettes against the brighter surface far better than its prey sees down into the dark. That predator advantage is why night feeding becomes significant in clear water, under heavy fishing pressure, and in summer heat. Fish dark, bulky profiles that print a clean silhouette, and add thump — at night the lateral line does the fine targeting while the eyes handle the outline.
