Could he not also ground through an rf choke to bleed off static?

At first that's what I thought, but OP was looking for lightning protection.

And, if you wanted to operate top band, for instance, a choke that has high Z at 2MHz is also going to have high Z for lightning (which has a lot of its power around 1 MHz). Even for 80m, it would be tricky..
