Hint
A little bit of algebra might help.

Answer
64 pounds.

The head weighs 24 pounds, the body weighs 32 pounds, and the tail weighs 8 pounds.

Reasoning
The trout is made up of the head, body and tail, H, B and T.

We are told that:

    T = 8

(1) H = T + B ÷ 2

(2) B = H + T

Placing T into (1) and (2) we get:

(3) H = 8 + B ÷ 2

(4) B = H + 8

Using (4) in (3) we get:

    H = 8 + B ÷ 2

(5) H = 8 + (H + 8) ÷ 2

Multiplying (5) by 2 we get:

 2H = 16 + H + 8

 2H = 24 + H

  H = 24

Therefore, by (2):

 B = H + T

 B = 24 + 8

 B = 32

Giving:

 H = 24
 B = 32
 T = 8

And a total of 24 + 32 + 8 = 64 pounds.
