That looks like what we delt with up in the Boundary Waters when we decided to keep a mess of bluegill. The snappers kept trying to take them off the hook and out of the basket. I grabbed one by the tail and have some pictures somewhere.
 
I am curious, how much chain length is there on an aircraft carrier or cruiser?
About 16 shackles for carriers but the latest carriers are using “lightweight“ chain so the anchors are not as heavy. The chain holds the ship in place, the anchor is just the weight to pull it out. 1 shackle is 90 feet.

I’m surprised that 500’ of chain laying in the bottom can actually hold a 100,000 ton ship…if the anchor is just there for weight
