Just remember everybody, this will happen to you if you surf in MAINE. If I were you I'd stay down south and take your chances with the bulls, lemons, tigers and southerners.
Dude that had to hurt! I remember the first time I got snagged on the boat, they told me to tickle the lobster's belly and it'd let go...and of course, like a dumbarse, I tried...lobters aren't ticklish.
