Dolomedes tenebrosus
(Dark Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

We think this is a Dark Fishing spider. Can anyone help i.d. it?
My wife said she saw a "Big spider" on our fireplace about a month ago. I heard a scream tonight, and the spider turned up in the sink while she was washing dishes! I put him in a tupperware container and my daughter let him go in the yard (wooded area).
