Just saw this spider on the front porch -- I'm in Bucks County PA (that's in the southeastern part of the state on the NJ border), right near the trees on the edge of a creek.
The spider was probably about 4+ inches long from end to end (body maybe 1.5 inches long?).
Is this some sort of a fishing spider, maybe?
Thanks for any guidance you're able to provide!

It could be a fishing spider in the genus Dolomedes.
