I have moved all my datnoids ranging from 5" to 18" in styrofoam boxes lined with a black garbage bag. I also used a battery powered air pump.
Never had a problem, I have found datnoids to be very calm when in transportation
He's is very calm indeed. the only large fish I have ever brought home that didn't try to bash himself against the shipping container at least once. I was surpised to say the least.
an hour travel is nothing no need for air pump
the only problem you may have is large tigers have a very deep body so the water in the polybox/cooler needs to be deep which makes it heavy
get a polybox/cooler just large enough for the tiger to turn around in then fill it deep enough to cover the fish
also be very carefully when you catch the tiger as most nets will get caught up in the tigers dorsal fin or gills
best to catch it in a plastic bag 1st then dump it direct into the polybox/cooler as the tiger will rip throw the bag in no time
good luck tigers are a very hardy fish when shipping short distances less that 4 hours
