About 6 weeks ago, I was catching lots of big BG and Redear, 9-11". These were probably all males, according to your descriptions. Then all sizes/colors, then it tapered off and was just catching small ones. This past weekend though the BG bite was hotter than hot, catching fish of all sizes, dinks up to 9"ers. The big ones, by the way, had scrapes and abrasions on them (probably from making nests, I guess). Water temp is right around 80.
This makes me think there is either a second spawn going on or the fish spawn in waves maybe.

sounds like a normal progression, to me. Spawning around the Full Moon, post spawn scattering, dinks staying in shallow water & bigguns heading deeper, then a repeat of the process at the next Full Moon period. Should progress along those same lines thru the Summer months.
I believe your last sentence is correct, on both accounts
