First, get a stronger anchor, that one looks pretty thin. I like a plow anchor, it doesn't have flukes to get hung up as easy.
Second, it's Winnipesaukee, it's rocky, unless you stick to sandbars eventually you will get an anchor stuck. Buy cheap anchors and live with the cost of cutting one free every few years.
Third, there is a technique of connecting your rode to the crown of the anchor and then using a tie-wrap to connect it to the normal spot. If you hang up, a strong pull will break the tie-wrap and allow you to pull the anchor out backwards. I never tried it.
