expiscate

Ex`pis´cate
v. t. 1. To fish out; to find out by skill or laborious investigation; to search out.
Dr. Burton has with much ingenuity endeavored to expiscate the truth which may be involved in them.
- W. L. Alexander.
I think expiscate needs to be used more.

as I test it on my tongue, I can certainly understand why it's not used too much, it's hard to get it right.

Nice fishing hole you got here, Bailey. Fish or cut bait or, yes, I believe I will have a cold one. *adjusts hat over eyes* I did find this link for you...
