He came back up, said there were plenty of snapper & grouper down there & we kept fishing.
At the end of the day, I went forward to pull the anchor and DAMN! was that thing heavy, as I got to the chain I saw lines tied to it, the whole time my buddy is just snickering away.
Had to tie it off & bring them up one at a time, he had gathered 3 wreck hooks & two anchors & tied them all to our rode!!
I still have one of those anchors & that was 25 years ago!

Very cool story. One time we had similiar incident happen to us fishing the TIGER wreck here out of va beach. A private boat pulled up late one morning and we were tied up on the wreck and he was very polite and asked us if he could dive it and we said of course. In return he tied a couple wreck anchors off on our hook. He told us he had done it. I couldn't imagine the lead down there on them wrecks. And the dummys that drop a danforth on top of wrecks.
And by the way I put this forsale add up before I knew the forum rules so MJ I'm sorry for putting a forsale add on here without permission or sponsorship I will change the title.
