I would suggest pumpkinseed or longear sunfish as larger fish. You can also try the orange spotted sunfish it's the next size down.
Unless, you are willing to have one or two fish of the fish you listed, go with the ones above. Your tank is too small for the adult size of these fish.
I have a 75 gallon breeder tank. The occupants are bluegills(very aggressive), green sunfish(aggressive),warmouth and a brown bullhead(can be docile or very aggressive). This is only a temporary tank for them. I will getting a 300 gallon very soon. I may still have to get another tank to accomodate all of the fish I currently have.
The others here can tell of other fish they would suggest for a 75 gallon.

I would do green sunfish, longear sunfish and a yellow bullhead. They should all be able to stay in a 75g for life.
You cant keep an LMB in a 75 gallon, they need at least 250 gallons.Redtailcatfish/koilover;4330801; said:
I had two Bluegills in a 75 gallon tank for a few years that where living with other fish and it turned out well. The Bluegills I had liked to go pick out a good section of tank bottom and then spend most of their time defending it form other fish.
