Sometimes the best ventures begin with a little faith and a lot of family. For the May family of Chunky, Mississippi, that’s exactly how G-Daddy’s came to be. For years, Michael “G-Daddy” May dreamed of opening a restaurant at the family’s Lazy Acres farm, a place already well known in the region for agritourism, seasonal events, and family-friendly fun. But Cathy, his wife, who managed all the food operations at the farm, wasn’t keen on the idea of running a full-time restaurant on top of their existing commitments.

"It's a high-hazard dam," said Caleb Covington, MDWFP state fishing lake coordinator. "It has a slough on the outside of the levee. It needs to be drained to make emergency repairs."

The lake record for largemouth bass is 10.06 pounds and the the lake record for channel catfish is 51.75 pounds, which is also the state record.
