Found in a crawl space. Could it potentially be a wolf spider? The abdomen was roughly the size of a plum.

Hi, this looks like a Dark Fishing Spider, Dolomedes tenebrosus.
Do they live away from water? I’m unfamiliar with their habitat but there isn’t any water near by and this was secluded in a crawl space,
Many of them don’t, this particular species however is frequently found far from water.
