Q:

Can a low flying jet fighter lift water?

Can a low flying but super fast jet spray water from the surface of the ocean?
I've seen this visual effect done many times in movies. It's often done to highlight supersonic speed just a few feet above the water.
Do the laws of physics even come close to this being plausible?
Bonus: Can you provide photograph evidence of this happening?

A:

The visual effect in the picture you found seems to suck water out of the sea, in this real footage the f-18 air shockwave tends to push water down, and makes a trail.

A:

And this video gives quite the explanation on how this happens...
The way it works:
condensation effects:

the air speed increases as the air flows around the aircraft
this can mean, that the air may travel faster than the speed of sound
air pressure and temperature drop, when the airspeed increases
this leads to condensation, because the cold air cannot hold the amount of water anymore
the cloud the aircraft is seemingly dragging along are condensation effects
the cloud is a local effect, it is not dragged along

shock waves:

they are created, when the air cannot get out of the way of the aircraft fast enough
this way, they form a pressure wave
that is the sound the aircraft makes
generally two waves, one bow and one tail

the rocket at the end:

the air is cold
there are tiny ice crystals in the clouds
they make the two pressure waves of the rocket visible
