What is the appropriate weight anchor for a 22 foot boat?
The weight of an anchor is not as important as the type and design of the anchor used. Finding the appropriate anchor will also depend on the type of boat and the composition of the bottom of the body of water it is to be used in. In addition, lighter anchors are (obviously) easier for the boater to handle. Check with local boat shops or experienced boaters to find the right anchor.
What could happen if you anchor a boat from the stern?
There are vessels designed to to specifically anchor from the stern of the vessel. However if you mean a "fishing boat" as a small recreational or "pleasure" craft like a bass boat, it is almost NEVER recommended to anchor from the transom of a boat. This is especially true if you have any type of current or sea state (even lake or wind waves) as your stern is the lowest part of the boat to the waterline and swamping can happen fast. I have personally seen it at the mouth of the Columbia River bar located in Pacific Northwest. Not to mention you run the risk of fouling your props with the anchor rode.
