I would say not having been trapped in a few years is a understatement with those kinds of catch numbers. But with the warmer weather and snow coming they may have just been moving everywhere and luck was on your side.
I've never had catch numbers that high myself, I would say on average I start out in December at 20% and it tappers off to 7-10% by the end of Jan, and that's on a 5-7 day check.
Either way I think you're going to have a great season buddy 👍
