Catch & trap both put a person to a stop. But catch usually means to stop someone right before taking them (we caught him in a net). It is also used when you see someone committing a crime (I caught him stealing, I caught them cheating) or if you are looking for someone and you see them somewhere (I caught him at the bar), even if you don’t confront them.
Trap can’t be used in those situations.
Finally, caught can be used if the person is unable to move, usually tangled or stuck to/in in something. (He got caught in a bush, the spider caught a fly in its web) Trap can be used in this situation too if the person can’t see a way out of what they’re caught in.

Trap has fewer implications, it only means for someone to be stuck in an obstacle.
