Beano - nice web page and chronicle of your journey. I hope you will keep the site up and current. One point FWIW. Tiger LMB are intra-species crosses not hybrids . A cross of 2 LMB strains not a hybrid of 2 species. That is unless the current genetics debate between the fisheries scientists is decided one way or the other. They are currently arguing if Fla and northerns are different species as some suggest based on genetics. In any case the F1s (tiger bass are a sub-set of F1s) have to my knowledge not shown the hybrid vigor or outbreeding depression that most hybrids show.
