I don't use an anchor chain on my 15# mushroom anchor, as I rarely anchor in deep water, and my understanding of the chain was to weight the top of the anchor, causing it to lay sideways and grip. I don't have this problem in 30' and shallower water. I do allow enough rope so that when the rope tightens up, I am well away from the anchor's location, allowing it to lay down.
Waterwings, your anchor clip may not have been against anything under the water. I have used these clips to pull freon drums up on rooftops. I would clip them on at ground level, climb the ladder, and when I would pull the rope the clips would come off. I played around with it and found out that if you swivel the clip around to the right position on the freon drum handle, (anchor eye), pulling on the rope unhooks the clip. It all depends on how the clip has swiveled while the rope was slack.
