>Turnpikeist: from Turnpikeism -- A compulsive/obsessive disorder peculiar to certain fishermen, where, upon catching a pickerel, Northern Pike, muskellunge, or other pikelike fish, they habitually turn the fish over several times before returning it to the water. Also see Turnpikeistic, Turnpikery.<

Yes, I'm afraid it's true. I, myself, have been known to turn a pike or pickerel over several times before returning the fish to the water....it's just that they have such, well, beautiful coloring...you just have to see it more than once, you know?...both sides.
