I was fishing, using a downrigger, the cannon ball was 150 feet down in 200 feet of water, when suddenly the steel cable started pulling from the downrigger

I tried to bring up the cannon ball (its an electric downrigger) and it wouldn't budge. I dropped the ball a few feet and then tried to bring it up, and it got unstuck from whatever and came right up

The bottom of the bay where I was fishing has no sudden drastic changes in depth, what else could it be other than a shipwreck?

The location is georgian bay, ontario. Colpoys bay more specific. I found a news story about this ship being found in 2018 in the same body of water where I got the snag.

The location isn't public. I have a feeling that I might have found it, or possibly the location of another wreck

Im interested in hearing what else you guys think it could have been

Whatever it was caught on had to have been down like 150 feet! So exciting to wonder what it could be
