They certainly will go after tadpoles, even small fish on occasion. Interesting animal. Nice photo and nice sighting.

Thank you. He was probably fishing for all the tadpoles in the pond.

This is a fishing spider (genus: Dolomedes), but I'm not sure which species. You may want to check this URL: http://bugguide.net/index.php?q=search&a... for more information.
