What is the major danger of anchoring a fishing boat from a stern?

Capsizing due to water coming over the transom - the back of the boat. Wind pushes the boat away from the anchor. When the boat is anchored from the bow, this allows the boat to cut through the waves just as when you are underway. When anchored from the stern, waves hit the back of the boat and enter the boat.
