bull frog sounds coming from pond and its not frogs,at least i don't think it is.

The reason i'm asking this question is I have been hearing a sound,a sound that a lot like bull frogs crooking (sp)? and I know I don't have any frogs in my raised fish pond thats in my yard. The pond sides are about 3.5 foot high and made from rail road ties and for the last week when i've been out side I heard what sounds like bull frogs coming from my pond. I have inspected the pond and there's no frogs in the pond. The fish have been spawing like crazy for the last 3 weeks and splash early every morning. This morning I was standing out on the patio and heard the noise and looked over at the pond and saw the fish chasing and splashing water everywhere. I also heard the noise at the very same time I seen the fish splashing.. When I walked over and they saw me well they always stop and came to where I was standing. The pond has been setup for 5 years and there's 31 plus fish in it. All the fish are very friendly and come when they see me. They range in size of 12" down to last years babies. When they splash and flop up out of the water are they possibly making the sounds i have been hearing? I know this sounds crazy but am I hearing the fish making these noises and not a bull frog? I stood by the pond for 15 minutes this morning after I heard the noise just to see if a frog came up to the surface and I didn't see anything but the fish.. Please someone help me figure this strange noises out. I personlly think it's the fish making the sounds..I know someone out there can confirm this.. Thanks Sandy
