Answer:

  15 ft below the top of the water

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let distances "below the top of the water" be represented by negative numbers. Then the initial height of Jesse's hook was -12 ft. Adding line allowed his hook to sink further:

  -12 +(-3) = -15

The depth of Jesse's hook now is 15 feet below the water surface.
