Largemouth Bass: The crown jewel of Lake Toho, these green machines are what put this fishery on the map. Florida-strain largemouth have a reputation for growing to monstrous sizes, and Toho's nutrient-rich waters provide the perfect buffet. These bass are ambush predators, often lurking in thick vegetation or around structure. They're known for their explosive strikes and powerful runs, making them a favorite among anglers. In Toho, it's not uncommon to catch bass in the 5-8 pound range, with the potential for true giants topping 10 pounds.
Behavior-wise, largemouth bass in Lake Toho adjust their patterns throughout the year. In spring, they move shallow to spawn, creating prime sight-fishing opportunities. Summer finds them relating to offshore structure and grass lines, while fall and winter can see them schooling up and chasing bait. One of the most exciting aspects of targeting Toho's largemouth is their willingness to attack topwater lures, especially during low-light periods. There's nothing quite like the heart-stopping moment when a big bass crashes your buzzbait.
While largemouth are the main attraction, Toho also hosts a healthy population of other species. Crappie, also known as speckled perch, provide excellent action, especially in cooler months. These tasty panfish school up and can offer fast-paced fishing when you find them. Bluegill and shellcracker (redear sunfish) are also abundant, often hanging around the same areas as bass. They're a blast on light tackle and make for some great eating if you're looking to take home a meal.
For those interested in something different, Toho's chain pickerel, often called "jackfish" by locals, offer a toothy challenge. These aggressive predators strike hard and fight like mini barracudas. While not as sought after as bass, they can provide some exciting variety to your day on the water.

Trust me, once you feel that first tug, you'll be planning your next trip before we even hit the dock.
Largemouth bass are the kings of Lake Toho. These big-mouthed predators typically run 2-5 pounds, but trophy fish over 10 pounds aren't uncommon. You'll find them lurking around submerged logs, weed edges, and dock pilings - anywhere they can ambush prey. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but the bite's good year-round here in Florida. Anglers love targeting largemouth for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. When hooked, they'll often leap clear out of the water trying to throw the hook. It's a rush every time. These bass have excellent table fare too, with firm white meat that's great for frying. Just be mindful of size limits if you're keeping any. One local tip: On sunny afternoons, try working a weedless frog lure across lily pads. The bass will absolutely crush it as it skitters across the surface. It's an exciting way to fish and can produce some real monsters.
