Brown recluse has a characteristic shape on the back of his body....and typically is not large. Most people never see this spider, when they get bitten!
Yours might be a wolf spider.

This is the wolf spider...and they can get really BIG:

I had one jump out at me once from between two rocks in the garden. I almost fainted away!
I had a horrible spider bite on my ankle, on vacation one year. It bit me while was sitting on the dock watching shooting stars. It was painful and nasty and took 3 months and 3 drugs to heal up. I never saw it or felt it... til the next day.
I don't think most sprays work on spiders.
