"Tiger Bass" are F-1 LMB (see anthropic above). They are a northern/Fla cross initially created by American Sportfish. The question is not if they could survive IN winters but rather if they would grow to their potential in IN. Survival does not mean reaching their potential. If under winter stress they survive but don't grow well then nothing has been accomplished.

My limited info on F-1s in southern IN is they may well survive but not flourish. Genetically it is a real "it depends" question. Different stocks of Fla/Northern crosses will deliver different results at the margin on cold tolerance.
