Comments & ID Thoughts
It's a Pennsylvania grass spider (Agelenopsis Pennsylvanica). It's the same spider i thought was a dark banded fishing spider. It looks like a rabid wolf spider at a glance, but notice the dark stripes down it's head and on it's legs and the long spinnerets, a rabid wolf spider, or and wolf spider for that matter, has that.

Thanks for that update, the photo lacks detail to discriminate to species.
No problem! I noticed that the male has significantly lighter coloration as is with almost all spider species, so I thought I would clarify.
