Some sort of larger orb weaving spider. He was the biggest spider I'd seen in person, but that doesn't mean much to you, does it.

Looks like a cat faced spider aka Araneus gemmoides
I appreciate the input! Looking on Google, it does look like one. Man, to think I could’ve held it relatively safely is wild!
Yeah the cat faced spider has kind of a derpy appearance I my opinion. Anyways, your welcome for the input and thanks for sharing this photo.
