In this adrenaline-fueled episode of the Goldberg & Rosen podcast, we sit down with legendary Fijian spearfishing guide, Jaga. Known for guiding the world's best divers to the world's biggest fish, Jaga shares the incredible story behind "the fish that broke the internet"—a massive Wahoo that stunned the spearfishing community.

We dive deep into the dangers and thrills of hunting in the remote South Pacific, from the "pinnacle" challenge of landing a Dogtooth Tuna to surviving the chaotic feeding frenzies known as "Sharknados." Jaga also opens up about the devastating impact of commercial overfishing on local waters and shares lighter moments guiding celebrities like Zac Brown, Christian Bale, and Snoop Dogg.

In this episode, we cover:

The Viral Catch: The full story behind the 120+ lb Wahoo that went viral online.
Surviving the "Sharknado": What it’s really like to be in the water with 50–500 feeding sharks—and how to stay safe.
