No encontré la pregunta de Tarential equivocada, porque una vez que lo pescaste, pues ya es "pescado".
My first choice would have been "¿Cuándo fue la última vez que pescaste?" (Adding "un pescado" would be a pleonasm.)
One can say "¿Cuándo fue la última vez que pescaste un atún/una carpa/una trucha/un salmón?" (or in plural "atunes"/"carpas"...)
"Coger/atrapar/agarrar un pescado" makes me rather think about someone using their hands or struggle to grab the fish in a breeding pond, but it can easily be understood as "pescar (un pez)" as well.
Hi Angelica,
Thanks for the explanation. I guess we can put it down to regional differences.
By the way, merging my previous posts made things so confusing that Jessica missed the question that I had asked... Merging posts is a waste of time IMO...

@Here4good: Maybe Jessica missed the question because you answered it yourself.
And forum rules are for everyone. Please respect that.

I don't know perhaps, you accepted a present a cake, a break fast, a meal, I don't really, but I wanted to mean that if you accepted something weir and rara for you.
