Fisherman's Feed was a revival of an Italian-American tradition that started in 1938 and ran until WWII

Ghio -
"Even when the fishing is bad, he says, life is good. 'I'm away from everyone, the traffic, the noise...It's my world, and I don't answer to no one."

"In San Jose the Italians became farmers; in Monterey, San Francisco and Santa Cruz, they became fishermen."
- In the mid-1800s, the many Chinese boaters and fishermen who dominated the profession were facing rampant racism, making it easier for Japanese and Italian fishers to take some of that success and compete with Mexican and Portuguese fishermen

- Ghio's father and grandfather were fishermen, he learned to do the same by age 8 and went into the business after graduating high school 1935
- Joined the Navy before the start of the War; parents and grandparents that weren't citizens were forced to give up fishing 1942...government ordered all German and Italian nationals east of Highway 1 - away from the bay
- Ghio lost parts of a few of his fingers a few years back due to a fishing accident, which has made it difficult but has not stopped him from being aboard his beloved ship, the Catherina G (named after his mother)
