I recieved an email in regards to my good buddy Robert Hargrove. He went into the hospital recently with strep throat and things turned for the worse. He apparently had a heart attack while in the hospital and is in ICU at Baylor. They are not letting him have any visitors yet and I am trying to get more info.
Robert has been with the Century Bass Club since day one and has never missed a tournament since 1976. He is a legend as far as local area anglers but more importantly he is definitely one of the nicest men that has ever walked this earth. I was lucky enough to be a team partner of his for a couple of years in Anglers Choice as well as other trails and spent many weekends at the lake with him.
He is one really tough old bird but I ask that you take a moment to say a little prayer for him. I will pass on any info as I get it.

Prayers sent for one of the great guys one could come across.

I haven't spoken to anyone in the family yet, just some second hand info. Apparently he didn't have a heart attack. He is being tested I believe for either a blood disorder or some type of infection. He is still in ICU and not able to see visitors. I think they have been running cultures to try to pinpoint the problem and his blood pressure and heart rate are really erratic. I will try to find out something definite and pass it on when it is available. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

Prayers will continue for Robert and his care givers...

Just a quick update on Robert. I have talked to him a few times the last couple of weeks. He is at his son's house and on strong IV antibiotics for a couple of more weeks and doing rehab. He has been working hard to try to be able to walk his daughter down the isle this weekend since she is getting married. He still needs help but he is getting stronger every day and is feeling better and chomping at the bit to get back to fishing sometime in the next couple of months. Robert is a tough old bird and I am so glad to see him getting back to health so he can get back out in the outdoors. Thanks for everyone's prayers and thoughts. He really appreciated it.

Get better Robert, hope you get to walk your daughter down the isle.

Robert came to weigh in for our Century Bass Club tournament yesterday on Tawakoni. It was great to see him getting out a little but he still has a long road ahead of him for recovery. He had surgery to take out a part of one of his rib bones and still has one IV in and taking antibiotics for at least 6 more weeks. I am not familiar with Staph infections but I can tell you I don't want any part of what Robert has had to deal with. Any prayers and well wishes for Robert would be appreciated.

Thanks for the update Tommy. I have been thinking about him lately and hoping for a steady recovery.

I saw him at the Century weigh in, he looked good with that big smile on his face.  It was great to see Robert on his feet!

Robert is one tough dude!

Thanks for the update Tommy. Prayers for a good man!!!!

I spoke with Robert today and he is room 1021 at Baylor. They are back to fighting the infection with anti-biotics again in an IV and hopefully this will take care of it and no surgery will be involved. He is really tired of the whole ordeal so hopefully he can get over this in the near future and get back to the outdoors. Please give him a call if you get a chance because I know he would appreciate any well wishes from everyone. 972-814-7412
