You are entering latitudes as longitudes and vice versa in the -R option.

Since you "know" the strike might be 30-120, pick a point where you know it should be ~100 and see what grdgradient says.  If there is stark disagreement, use grdcut to cut out a tiny grid (say 5x5 nodes) centered on that value from your grid, rerun grdgradient on this grid to confirm there is a mismatch, and post it as a potential bug on the gmt website.
