Holy Cow!  Some of those things have more than 100 HP, and can go better 
than 60 MPH!  I don't want to try and paddle with you when you are out 
hunting for "lake lice"!

Just as I believe I am one with my kayak many Jet Skiers have a very close
attachment to the Jet Ski.  They even tie themselves to the ignition so
they will not be separated from the ski.  That fact and the harvesting
methods described (torpedos, flare guns, etc) would indicate that the Jet
Skier would be seriously injured if not killed in the hunt.  For that
reason I must still object to the hunt whether for the jet ski, the jet
skier, or the combination.

Then you should have no objection to stalking the jet skis and taking them on 
the trailer, right? Or is that like shooting ducks on the nest?
