Pelicans forward Dante Cunningham finds ‘sportsman’s paradise’ in Louisiana

You learn quickly in sports to never reveal a game plan, so when Dante Cunningham discusses a recent trip he took with a friend to Venice, La., he’s a bit tight-lipped.

“I’m not going to tell you exactly the spot where he took me,” a smiling Cunningham said of his fishing buddy’s secret angling location. “But literally we dropped a line 100 feet down into the water, and as soon as the line hit the bottom, we were catching (redfish). Then later I had two sharks on my line. I got blisters on my hands from reeling for so long; I’ve never had a red that fought so hard.
