We theoretically investigate the transport in a magnetic/normal/magetic hybrid structure on the surface of a Weyl semimetal. We find a directional-dependent tunneling which is sensitive to the magnetic field configuration and the electric gate voltage. The momentum filtering behavior becomes more significant for two-delta-function-shaped magnetic barriers. There are many Fabry-Pérot resonances in the transmission determined by the distance between the two magnetic barriers. The combined effects of the magnetic field and the electrostatic potential can enhance the difference in the transmission between the parallel and antiparallel magnetization configurations, and consequently lead to a giant magnetoresistance.
