This is an extreme example and can't quite see musky fishermen getting in this pickle but do have one time an anchor would have been huge for someone.  We were up for the weekend at our cabin, I was working on something and my wife came to get me.  She had seen a boat seemingly drifting in the middle of the lake, with a family onboard and the guy trying to start it.  By the time I looked they had drifted into shore, an area that was very shallow and full of downed wood.  I hopped in our pontoon that has a tow bar and took the rope we tow tubes with.  I had trouble getting close but managed to throw the rope to them and tow them back to the cabin they were renting.  They had run out of gas and even though it was a fish and ski boat, they had forgotten to charge the battery for their trolling motor after using it.  My wife said, 'gee if they had an anchor at least they could have stopped from drifting into that area'.  My reply was that given their lack of common sense, they probably would have tossed it over board and forgot to tie it to the boat.[/QUOTE]
