I suspect it is not a good idea to eat multiple meals from the same fish. Most studies of toxin levels in fish shows that levels in individual fish vary widely and some fish are way above the "safe" level.

When you eat multiple meals from a single fish, if that fish happens to be one with a high toxin level, you (and your family) can ingest a much higher cumulative dose (possibly 30-40X higher) than what you would expect if you ate the same number of meals from 4-5 different fish.

While this is more commonly a problem with tuna than bass (I know of two people in my town who poisoned themselves eating fish they caught), if you have small kids you might want to rethink the wisdom of keeping a large bass and freezing much of it for repeated family meals.
