Fish, this is actually a very productive way to catch kings...we've placed in many tournaments this way. No need to cover ground when you find the fish..several blocks of chum and a gallon of menhaden oil and if they're close, theyll find you and as far as anchor goes, when big fish is on, anchor ball already attached to anchor line on cleat. Just unclip and drop ball, fight fish then return to ball...works well for us....
