Right on !! The sonar  (distance finder ) is showing your weight distance from the transducer  it will only show the true depth of your weight if you are stopped and the cable is straight down.  Any angle on the cable will lessen the depth of the weight , but it will still show the actual distance from the ducer , not the true depth it’s running.  A fish 🐟 will show actual depth because you are passing over it ( arches)   If it was attached to the boat , the same rule would apply  the distance would be shown  not the actual depth 

A fish hawk is an eye opener. It takes all the guess work out of the equation 

What if the fish is near the ball? How deep is it?

It’s showing two objects at let’s say 100’. They ( the fish arch and the weight ) are both 100’ from  the transducer , but they are not at the same depth due to blowback of the weight   Hard to get your head around , but it’s true. Like I stated, a fish hawk or other device that tells actual depth of the probe and weight are a real eye 👁️ opener.
