To catch a glimpse of Wal-Mart FLW Tour pro Scott Martin’s eye-opening guided fishing outing with a novice angling family from Boca Raton, Fla., as seen on the June 13 edition of the “CBS Early Show,” click here.

According to transcripts of the latest CBS installment of “Rob to the Rescue,” Martin (along with regular show host Rob Mariano) decide to donate their time to help out a Florida couple desperately trying to learn the ins and outs of fishing in order to help teach their two children what angling is all about.

Apparently, though, the family had a lot to learn. Not only had they never caught a fish before, but their primary baits of choice were s’mores – chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows – as well as the occasional piece of pork loin.

During the segment, Martin and Mariano eventually convince the family that s’mores aren’t exactly the best fishing bait to use in most circumstances. However, can they help the family finally break their zero-for-a-lifetime fishing curse? Tune in and find out.
