From a quick search these spiders aren’t that big

25-28mm body length is quite a considerable size. I think a cousin of these is often dubbed the "UK's largest spider", even though it technically isn't. But they are up there. Yes, the US has tarantulas, giant house spiders and some larger wolf spiders, but Dolomedes is up there as well.
