“The hook went into the left ventricle of my heart. There’s a sac around your heart. It went through that and entered the heart muscle itself “, He said.
Thesenvitz was fishing with his wife and daughter Keanna Thesenvitz, who is a nurse.

Todd’s wife, Marie, drove the boat back to a jetty, which at the time it was full of lifeguards.
“Every wave he hit made him scream more in pain, so it was stressful, and he had to keep looking over his shoulder, but he knew Keanna had it and he knew she was going to take care of him,” Marie said.
