To be "caught up" means you are thinking about something so much that you forget other things. It might be a pretty girl but it is usually used for some task at school or work, or watching tv, or surfing the web. example: " I got so caught up answering questions on italki that I forgot to go to class."

Imagine you're a fish, and you get caught up in a fishing net.
This is where the expression comes from. The rest should be obvious.
