When Fat Models become too Fat?

Hi All

I have always stuck to skinny controllers, fat models, but in some projects, I have noticed my model files are now over 5000 lines long!!

I would love to break the code up more so that it isn't all in the main model files.

Has anyone given this any thought of a good way to achieve this?

I thought about breaking some code into Components, so that I am not interacting directly with the model files, however I would be concerned about Unit Testing in this case.

Can anyone offer any insights?

PS - this is in reference to CakePHP 2 - I don't know if this has been tackled further in CakePHP 3?

Thanks
Michael
