November snuck in like a thief in the night and before we know it, we'll be singing Christmas carols. (OK, some of us have already started.)

 

But the year is closing fast, and with Turkey Day fast approaching, we wondered what pro anglers did on the holiday that is associated with food, family and football. Can we add fishing to that litany? 

 

Jeremiah Bagwell of BassResource.com caught up with some pros to ask about their Thanksgiving traditions, and they represented a broad range, from turkey to the deer woods.

 

A sample: 

 

Kevin VanDam - I asked Kevin what his favorite part of Thanksgiving was and here is how he laughingly replied.

 

Kelly Jordon - "My favorite part of thanksgiving is being with my family. I also get to eat a lot of turkey and dressing."

 

Davy Hite - "The best thing about Thanksgiving is spending time with my family and eating so much that I make myself miserable. Not one particular food either, I like everything. That's a great time and other than winning a tournament, I don't know if you could have it much better than spending time with your family and just eating so much you get sick."

 

Good stuff. Read the full post here, and have a happy Thanksgiving, whether it's spent in front of the tube, at the table, in the deer woods or even on the water.
