AWG #6 will work fine at 100 feet with only a 2% drop in voltage which is acceptable.

What size wire do you need for a 125 amp sub panel 30 feet away from a 150 amp main panel?

A 125 amp panel or subpanel requires # 2 gauge feeders and neutral. (# 2 awg is rated for 130A) However, depending on the existing load in your main 150A panel you likely don't have enough power to operate a 125 Amp subpanel.
