Transaction unconfirmed for 5 days, and I don't think the fee is the problem?

1

I sent a transaction of ~0.408 BTC February 20th through Electrum and my transaction is still showing up as unconfirmed. I also cannot resend my transaction through Electrum as the coins are still unconfirmed. Here is my Tx on the Blockchain

I included a fee as well. Any idea whats wrong or how I can retrieve my Bitcoins?

The fee you have set leads a "fee per byte" value of ~20 satoshi/byte, as you can see on the blockchain.info. It's too small currently, as transactions with fees lesser than 60 sat/B doesn't seem to be trusted to clear right now, as you may see here: bitcoinfees.21.co. I could help you with clearing it, but I'm pretty sure the thread about it already exists here. The problem is likely solvable, good luck.
