Ah yea getting old sucks. My ass hurt bad after 4 hours until I got an air inflatable cushion. Now I'm good for 6 hours easy, up to 8 or 9. Luckily my back is holding up fine so far. It's just a matter of time I suppose. I'm not sure what seat you have and if one with better back support would help, but 5 hours is alright. Of course if I caught as many fish as you in the short time on the water, I might be content to get off early too.
