    Fishing in Los Angeles, near Santa Monica.?

    the tuna, if any, will be 100 to 200 miles out most likely. don't worry about the salmon. DFG never opened a season for them this year for us. maybe nor cal, oregon or washington. but that would be more than an overnight cruise... but halibut should be available just a short ways off the beach...

    How much weight can a 25lb test line hold, going fishing in the jetties and my rod

    theoretically, it can hold a dead weight of 25lb. but it can handle a fish much larger. that depends on the fisherman and his tackle. a rod rated for 25lb should work just fine. be sure you have a quality reel with a good drag. personally, l would use 15 or 20. you will cast better.

    is it possible a 6 year old girl could catch such a big fish without help ?

    you read that too? actually dad did all the work. says right there. l don't see how that halibut can be included in the women's division. or even be considered as fair caught since it was taken out by a shotgun blast. l guess alaskans have their own ways of discerning fair play.

    Does dough or bread work for carp in Berlin,Germany when fishing for them?

    they have a lot of mirror carp. weird scale patterns. look deformed. but a carp is a carp. most baits used here should also work there. perhaps better if you make any special doughs that just kills 'em here. something different they aren't used to seeing.

    illegally transporting fish would be from one body of water to another. if you can't transport them as far as the judges, how could you possibly transport them home to cook? fish are always carried to the judges in the tournaments. see 'em all on ESPN on the bass tournaments.

    firearm protection while backpacking, hiking, in national parks.?

    in national parks, you're right. not allowed. but in national FOREST land, of which there is much more, it would be legal as long as your sidearm was legal. l would think it would be much advised to be armed against bears and such. you wouldn't actually have to shoot them. just the loud report...
