I think it's kind of a sporting expression. If I'm not mistaken, the quote you refer to involves spotting or spying someone making an error. That is, you "catch" someone in a mistake.

In some sports, eg., baseball, they use "good get" as a synonym for "good catch," but it's a fairly new express

I agree. There's not really a synonym.

Good observation - I'm glad you found that error.

That's about the closest I can get.
