What spider is this?

Found this spider on the couch this morning just sitting there. It was almost 2 inches across with its legs stretched out.
Google Lens says ‘Dark Fishing Spider’ aka Dolomedes tenebrosus. My grandfather says a tarantula of some kind.
Curious as to how accurate Google Lens can be.
What says the OT?

I always called those grass spiders.
I've seen some very big ones around my barn.

Looks like a tarantula to me but I’m no arachnologist.

Definitely a black widow recluse.

Idk, but very shortly I would’ve called him a dead one

Google summary says Dark Fishing Spider can often be confused with a Wolf Spider.
It looks more like a Wolf Spider to me too. Tigrosa aspersa specifically with the markings and pointy abdomen. I think it even tricked Google Lens AI.

You need to put some Bar Keepers Friend on your couch. And how uncomfortable is that stainless steel when youre watching TV?

If it was in my house I would ID it as a dead spider because I hate spiders and I would have killed it.

That's what I was thinking.
But all I know is that OP likely handled this situation far better than I would have.

Your spider friend is very cute, you should name him.
He looks like a Merv to me.

I first thought Roscoe, but I see how you would say Merv

Prob a fishing spider. I get them in my pool. They chill by the catch drains and get bugs. They don't make webs to catch their prey.
