The creature watches warily, letting her come close, but when she gets within her own arm's reach it seems to pull back, almost as if it were afraid of her. The spotlight doesn't go entirely unnoticed, but with lightning still flashing all around it's no more a distraction than anything the monster's presence has stirred up. In the time it takes her to close the distance though, the maelstrom seems to weaken, or at least the swirling waves in the immediate area seem to slacken their attempts to capsize the boat.
Up above, the fishermen are scrambling for bigger weapons. Their spotlight can't stay still on the form beneath the waves, but the behemoth makes enough of a shadow in the water that they can spot it. For the moment it's still, but they can only assume it's preparing for another attack as the Captain rallies them, handing out fishing spears to all.
