how big were the tiger bass at the time of stocking?
I would recommend getting some more data. It sounds like your pond is healthy, but i would get a relative weight chart and start to track the health of the CNBG with this. Basically if they are 90% or preferably 100-110%, then i think you are fine.
if you start finding skinny, under nourished fish, then potentially harvest is appropriate, but mostpond owners never have this problem due to the bass.
Another option still would be to start aeration and then feed a bit more.
I think your stocking numbers are great for development of a good bass fishery.
even though your goals are 3 lb bass, you will pass this likely with the genetics you have used.
