poppers at night...?

[doc]

i rarely fish the night...was fishing about an hour before first light the other week in complete darkness using a smack it popper and ended up landing a 50" bass (cant somehow post the pic as it needs to be 're-sized')...the conventional wisdom is that poppers are not productive at night...obviously not totally true...but wanted to find out what people thought....and if others use poppers at night...
