Riddle to solve!

[SaigonK]

Got this one today!
A trout's tail weighs eight pounds. Its head weighs as much as the tail and one-half the body combined, and the body weighs as much as the head and tail combined. What does the whole trout weigh?
T = 8
H = 8 +1/2 body
B = T + H

Anyone got any idea?

B = 8 + 8 + 1/2 B
B = 32
H = 24
T = 8
B + H + T = 64
That is a large trout.
