Super User ChrisD46 Posted September 22, 2016 Super User Posted September 22, 2016 A friend of mine was thought to be having heart issues so his cardiologist made him wear an event (heart) monitor for a month . At the end of the month he sees the Doctor and he says : " Things appeared normal - until two weekends ago where by we tabulated some very erratic heart rhythms which has me quit concerned - we may need to operate " ! ... My friend then inquired : "What time specifically two week ends ago do the events occur on the monitor I was wearing " ? Long story short , the times coincided exactly when he had been out hollow body frog fishing and had caught two #4 lb. and one #6 lb. bass - all on a hollow body frog !! ... I about fell over laughing - the event (heart) monitor had captured all of the excitement of my friend's frog fishing trip - I guess what they say about frog fishing is true - It will darn near give you a heart attack when you get bit !! 19 Quote
Luna2406 Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Lol I'm sure everyone had a good laugh in that office Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 23, 2016 Super User Posted September 23, 2016 Good story. Glad he was awake when the doc gave him his results in order to avoid an unnecessary surgery. Do you think we need to wear a "Bass Fishing-Heart Monitor" bracelet letting the paramedics and docs know the high readings may be caused from bass fishing? Quote
bigfruits Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 awesome story but I think your friend should look for a new cardiologist! 2 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Super User Posted September 23, 2016 I believe my firend's cardiologist was more concerned with : "What was going on during this period of erratic heart activity " ? then he was about operating ! Also he cardiologist was not a fisherman so he was not too amused ... To borrow from the new Ice Tea commercial (i.e. "It's lemon aid man" !) : "It's frog fishing man - read the sign ... FROG FISHING " !! 2 Quote
Super User Ratherbfishing Posted September 23, 2016 Super User Posted September 23, 2016 If my heart rate had been monitored while fishing a few days ago, they'd have thought I'd "flat-lined" and pronounced me dead. I think I was brain-dead too. Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Super User Posted September 23, 2016 Besides an increased heart rate - when Pros who have caught hundreds of bass have their hands shaking after a thrilling contest with a bass , well - that's why we do it ! 1 Quote
