I now have new information, so re-writing this answer.

The OID you're querying (ltmPoolMemberMonitorState) shows the status of the monitor, not of the pool member itself. Polling this simply tells you that the monitor is enabled.

 snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMemberMonitorState
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMemberMonitorState."/Common/swimming"."/Common/8.8.8.8".80 = INTEGER: up(4)

To get the status of the pool member, you need to read ltmPoolMemberSessionStatus:

 snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMemberSessionStatus
F5-BIGIP-LOCAL-MIB::ltmPoolMemberSessionStatus."/Common/swimming"."/Common/8.8.8.8".80 = INTEGER: disabled(4)
