So, I was told by a parasitologist (studies parasites) friend of mine that people hardly ever see Bullfrogs in amplexis (a term for mating where a male hangs onto a female for dear life until the female lays eggs so he can fertilize them). So, I was with my students at the infamous Neven's Pond in western Nebraska (See research and popular books by John Janovy Jr.), and I was able to catch these two with another male chasing them around. Cool!
