This story is about a bedding fish, but a little different than what you asked for.
I was out the first Saturday of this past April, with the spawn coming to an end and only a few stragglers on beds. At mid-day, I was coming back to my dock when a gardener working 2 doors down started waving me over. As I pulled closer, he pointed towards the water & said in broken English "He has been watching me all morning". Stuck between the seawall & a paddleboat, I see a bed with a small male & large female locked on, facing the shoreline & the gardener. I back the boat off, make a couple of casts but neither fish moves, they just continue to focus on the human standing in front of them. I go ahead & dock my boat at my house & walk over to my neighbors house to get a better view. As I do, a carp swims by the bed, only to get chased off by the male.
About that time, my neighbors' 4 grandchildren come down to the dock. I lifted each of them up, had them put on my sunglasses so each could see the bed & the fish. I always try to teach these kids about the fish, so I was explaining why the bass continued to stay so close to shore when they obviously saw the gardener standing nearby. As the gardener finished up & left, one of the kids asked if I could catch the bigger fish. I told them I could try, but it was more likely the smaller bass would bite and that it may take a long time for me to get the female to take a lure. I wanted to set their expectations to not get frustrated when it took a long time to get her to bite.
With the gardener gone, I went back to my boat, pulled around to the bed and cast a 5" wacky senko past the bed, up onto the seawall. As I pulled it quietly into the water & to the edge of the bed, the female turned towards it. I hopped it once up into the bed and she swam over & dropped nose down. I didn't see her inhale, but my line jumped, so I set the hook. She immediately took off for deeper water & I landed her a few minutes later as the crowd of children roared their approval. So much for setting expectations, she bit on the first cast!!
I brought her back to my dock to show the kids and they were amazed at the size of her head & mouth. She weighed 5 lbs, 4 oz, but had already dropped most of her eggs and probably would have been well over 6 lbs just a few weeks earlier. The kids got to see her swim away, although she didn't return to the nest immediately.
