Glowing Stuff in the Bay? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

i know that bioluminescence is often caused by something disrupting the water (kayak paddle, bubbles, a boat's engine) but these guys were just chillin on the surface doing their own thing, without any disruptance. when i went over them with the inflatable, however, they stopped glowing and we could not see them anymore. seemed kinda like the opposite of bioluminescence. instead of disrupting something to make it glow, it glowed until it was disrupted.
