Dragger cut my anchor. What to do ? poll:

Anchord in the fleet over the weekend {where I had spent the entire night, not like I just showed up and set up in anyones way} when a dragger clipped my anchor, towing us about 100 yards before parting the line. I couldn't get them on the radio, so I had to chase him down..
Long story short. The guy refused to take responsability. Stop dragging to talk about it, or even admit it happened.
After way too much screaming on my part I got them to haul back. The deck hand claimed the Capt. didn't speak english, so he just hid out in the wheelhouse, and they "Don't know what to tell you" "the nets not damaged, your anchor isn't stuck in the net and You can't prove it" So I called the coast guard.
Thay told me to file a report on land and asked if "MY" insurance would cover it?

Should I just let it go and suck up the couple hundred bucks this jerk just cost me? or try to get reimbursed?
