Where are all these big trout…

Where are all these big trout coming from?  In the past week or two, I or someone that I was fishing with has caught an over-slot speckled trout on multiple occasions.  I didn’t think the Pass held big trout, but I was certainly proven wrong.  I am just wondering if it has something to do with the very warm weather and high tides or could it be just dumb luck?  Prior to catching these large trout my biggest trout was perhaps 14 or 15 inches.
