My guess is that the first is a Green, the second is a Warmouth, and the final two I have not a clue(redear & yellowbreast?). Identififcation help Please.

I agree with your first two IDs, green and warmouth. It's a classic looking warmouth. The third one I'd say is a redear, with that slightly indented forehead. The fourth I'd say is a bluegill that looks a little bit odd from being held in a stretched out position; but it has the rear dorsal spot, and a smallish mouth.

Also the extra-long pectoral fins point to bluegill.

I go with those guys. Green, warmouth, redear, bluegill.

To me the green looks a bit funny, big headed and the fins different, could be the picture. The bluegill could throw some people, pretty sure its a female and when you think bluegill, it is either juvenile of a big bull with the orange belly, blue from the lower gaw to the bottom of the gill cover, and darker more uniform coloration.

Nice pics!

I had the same hesitations about the Green. The fin coloring was amazing. I'm thinking of another tank just for these guys alone. Here is a photo of another from the same day/same hole. I am working on a proper photo tank.
