Looks more like a male giant house spider.

Thank you for reply! It does look like that, what about the light banding on the legs though this made me think fishing spider at first but I think you are right that it is a giant house spider.
The prominent key is the patterns on the abdomen. we have 3 species in the Eratigena genus, and they look nearly identical. the smaller is the hobo spider and there is little or no banding on the legs. One of my hobo’s:

The Eratigena duellica is mostly found in the western region, and the Eratigena atrica, in the eastern regions.
Very cool thank you!
