Weird brake problem

I have a 98 and usually, my brakes feel good when pressed smoothly/firmly. However, sometimes when you hit them fair hard, I get a grabbing effect from the front. Also, is seems that if I brake normally, and then let up and try to brake again, it wants to "grab" again. If I let up and brake a few times in a row (it grabs each time), I have seen the ABS light turn on.
I haven't pulled the wheels, but I am thinking it may be a sticking caliper. However, that might be hard to see when I pull the wheel and caliper. Maybe I could feel it when I press the cylinder in with a clamp.
Anyhow, maybe someone could give me input on whether my diagnosis is reasonable. I'm wondering if there could be an issue with the ABS unit too, but hope it's just a sticking caliper.
