I've been told that Tiger Bass are hybrids between the agressive Northern largemouth and the large Florida strain bass. I've also been told that Tiger Bass are "cultivated" based on their agressive tendencies. Simply put, the most agressive fish are caught and moved to another pond, where they are allowed to grow larger. Then they are caught again and the most agressive fighters are moved to another pond, where their fry are harvested and sold. This method sounds fishy to me, but wanted to dispel the rumor.
