We were anchored at Tablerock Lake near Branson, MO. At the time we were in water that was 60' deep.

It was obviously WAY too heavy to lift off of the anchor, so I navigated to water that was around 18' deep, dropped anchor and navigated backwards at the same time. Doing this allowed the tree to let go of the anchor after the tree hit the bottom.
