No action before the flop suggest no solid pocket pairs. You limped in from bb so he put you on rags anyway.

Your bet was was ridiculously large given the pot - so personally I think he perhaps has the right to call.

I dunno - personally I wouldn't have called it - but I can see circumstances where had I seen you play a little more I might have called too. That $300 he put in may have been the last of $5g he blew that day........
