Barbus Comiza. The famous “Comizo Barbel”
Comizo barbel maximum 17 kg.
Of all the Spanish barbel it is the mighty Comizo that can achieve greater weight, some ichthyologists believe that can reach 20 kg or more in weight, the biggest Comizo barbel caught in Spain was 17 kg.
However Spanish fishermen are not too enthusiastic when it comes to fishing for barbel, they prefer carp fishing and because hardly any studies have been carried out on the behaviour of this species in Spain a certain mystery remains as to the full potential of this fish.
Comizo barbel extremaduraComizo Barbel can be located in the catchment areas of the river Tajo and Guadiana river basin where there are monstrous Comizo barbel and multiple captures of barbel Comizo between 4 and 8 kg is very easy with the same fishing session also throwing up captures of bocagei, microcephalus as well as the comiza.
