Spider eating dragonfly - Dolomedes scriptus

Spider eating dragonfly - Dolomedes scriptus
Wilton, New Hampshire, USA
June 4, 2011
I am new to trying to identify spiders. I found this guy gnawing on a dragonfly by a lake. It was definitely a large spider, roughly the size of my palm. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could clue me in as to what species it may be. Thanks!
